This entire circular (and, at the end, pointless) argument is stupid. | Actually this WAS the first time that this "vote" happened in the APA. There is a board or as you put it "a commitee" that makes these decisions.
Here's a link.
and a c@p... Opponents of the ruling circulated petitions, issued angry statements and forced the A.P.A. into unprecedented action: this month, for the first time in the A.P.A.'s 129-year history, a board decision is being put to a vote of the association's entire 21,000 members.
Once again showing another exception made for this human abnormality.
How the hell do you think you can debate this topic intelligently if you don't know what the hell you are talking about?
Here's a blog that breaks it down quite nicely... Also, the final tally was not impressive. The vote was 5,584 to 3,810 out of about 30,000 APA members, meaning that only about 37 percent of the APA took part in the decision. In total, only approximately 20 percent of the organization actually said yes to removal, meaning that as much as 80 percent of the APA in 1973 might have opposed removal. This is my new signature.
