The principle difference here is that you continue to say that you represent the vast majority of tree owners, or that you feel you represent the vast majority of tree owners. I have never said I represent anyone but myself.
Why, in a public forum, can't people speak for themselves? Who asked you to speak for them? If you want to express your personal opinion as your personal opinion, more power to you! Anyone that agrees with your posts can post replys to show their support. But when you repeatedly express your personal opinions as though they were fact and that they represent the vast majority of tree owners, then your claim begs proof.
One of your principle complaints against TATF is your belief that they have misrepresented facts and made false claims in their promotional material. By making your own point against them by yourself misrepresenting facts and making false claims hardly inspires great confidence in your judgement or your motives. It also calls into question the moral superiority you have claimed for yourself.
