When the appointed authority doesn't represent the views of its members, there will always be talk of mutiny.

And there should be talk, because talk is the first step towards action, and without the threat of action, the authority will not be pressured to listen.

Everyone should do what they think is right, that way all bases are covered and all levels of the authority will feel some kind of pressure.

However, abuse should not be tolerated, it only leads to defensiveness from the authority.
