3. For suing the FS?

We had to since nobody dared go there, we sued them and a state for violating the Wilderness Act in a Wilderness Area. I worked for the agency in recent years and admitted to my superiors who I am and what I participated in and their response was,"Good. Sometimes we need to be sued because of bad policies or ambiguities in policies that force us to make decisions we shouldn't make." And that is why we sued, it's why anyone sues over policies and decisions.

I faced a lot of grief from opponents so I will say, you're welcome. Now I'm retired, except for special invitations to speak or interact in a policy formulation process.
