When I was Senior Ed at www.Off-road.com, we fought the landuse wars with the econazis. I watched compromise from all angles. and we warned constantly it would result in losing it all. That was late 90s/20001. today, every single area we fought for is either closed entirely or all but off limits. Because our own people ‘compromised’ it all away. one piece at a time.
Compromise always means you give up what you have. Always. And you cannot give up part of a principle or integrity. It’s all or nothing and once gone, they are gone forever.
Yup.
