Oh, but I have. The VCer's should give up on its counter productive plan 1 - trying to force VC education/training programs on the uninterested. Give up on trying to mandate/create a demand for their supply of educators and educational/training materials. The battle is over, enough already! The bicycling public has made their decision (you should take your program and ... come back when you have a convincing or desirable alternative.)

Give up on plan 2 - obstructionism to all bicycling programs that don't include money for plan 1.

If that answer doesn't suit your fancy, perhaps you should ask yourself what problem ARE you trying to solve with promotion of VC education, and, given a 30 year failure to show any results, why should anyone (besides a handful of underemployed/underutilized VC educator/trainers/salesmen) care?

Silence from counterproductive obstructionists, or a new, useful, credible and practical proposal from them - Is that an alternative to endless counter productive, fear based, same old/same old proselytization from a handful of true believers, or is it not?

Note: This is NOT a call for censorship or stifling of conversation; only a request to free discussion/debate from endless harassment from the handful of VC true believers who want the last/only word on all issues.

Second Note: Calling a VC "spade", a VC "spade" is not an insult. It is a statement of fact. Wishful thinking and unsubstantiated theories do not become facts or truth through constant repetition, polling of the faithful, or rewording of the same old pitch.
