For months OWSers bragged about NOT being part of the establishment political process. One post does not suddenly obviate the concerns of a large group of fair-minded people who wanted a more effective movement. Those of us who counseled political participation were derided, belittled and pushed away -- just like the OP.
We were called haters and still are. Yet, here's the OP, not only calling us haters but admitting the so-called haters were right all along about the value and effectiveness of political participation. Is there is hint of conciliation or even simple decency to stop calling names to people who gave good advice? No. It's all about your ego.
When you have an ego that has the size and substance of the Hindenburgh don't act surprised if there is a similar end result.
