Please could you explain the details of what is done with people whom the DOM thinks are trouble makers

I often say what others are thinking and am paranoid about being fitted up

Still, Id rather be UP-FRONT and honest than lie....

I don't know about that. Sorry. Wish I did. All I know is that I spoke up (not in Courier) and they forced me out through bullying, intimidation, withholding bonuses illegally, unjust use of Conduct codes, extension of disciplinary procedures to several months (normal length of the procedure was 3 weeks), repeated questioning and hints that I should 'consider options'. They wanted me out by any means necessary and played as dirty as they could to get what they wanted. I would never put my name on anything in Courier that was critical, as it would be the equivalent of takinga shotgun to what I could laughably call a career in the RM. The only way to progress up the management structure was to wait for someone to die or retire - like "The Godfather", and my life isn't long enough for that.
