I am looking for a solution and the solution is to work with the powers that be.
I will not be boycotting ALA and hope others will fight the good fight.
Sometimes you have to say the same thing a hundred times before someone listens. Threat just take us off-topic.

I've stayed pretty quiet in this discussion up until now, but this
particular comment I find very insulting. All of people that I know
within ALA/ALCTS that worked on the development of RDA are "real world
catalogers." We work in all kinds of libraries, large and small, public,
special, etc. The RDA testers are real world catalogers working with real
world resources to catalog. While there are legitimate concerns about RDA
and the test and how it impacts our work, comments like this are
disrespectful and just plain wrong.
