Because it appears to be Don acting unilaterally, and few people trust him.
The reason I think he appears to be acting unilaterally is, when the
meetings were taking place to try to work out a compromise I asked him
why he didn't agree to the compromise proposal, and he told me his
constituents wouldnt agree to it. I pointed out he hadn't asked them.
So, he's acting on their behalf without consultation. I'd bet dollars
to donuts that if you really asked those organizations if they thought
McDonalds trademark attorney was the best guy to represent non-commercial
entities they'd say no, but of course nobody has aksed them, but Don
was dead set against getting him in there.
This smells fishy.
