Do we carry it and what are the policy limits? 50 characters. (Directors and Officers)
We do carry it. We donāt post our insurance policies online but if you PM me, I can arrange for you to see our policies.

Used to before the board made secrecy its default mode of operationā¦
Yes everything is a cover up.
We donāt post current one on line per the suggestion of multiple people, some of them being lawyers. It was suggested that we shouldnāt inform people how much they should sue us for. Nothing is a secret and I will show our policies in person to anyone that asks.

When I asked, because I wasnāt sure we actually had the insurance we were paying Roberts friend for, it took a fair bit of effort to get someone to provide me a copy of those policiesā¦
We get it. You donāt like Robert. Stop spreading misinformation. Robert did not know that agent before we signed that policy.
You did see the policy, Iām not sure on the time frame, but there was probably some hesitation since you have expressed interest in suing us.

Then it is just a coincidence that they went to the same college at the same timeā¦
I would be glad to provide copies of the multiple emails where I was told the policies were āon the wikiā when I was trying to get copiesā¦ So donāt lecture me about misinformationā¦
Citation, please. Donāt see that with what I am looking at.

In material I had a private detective prepare when I was preparing to sue the board for mismanagementā¦
Does he realize UTA and UTD are different schools, or do you think they both fudged their schools and years there on their LinkedIn page?

You would have to ask the detective. If you saw my desk you would understand why I canāt just lay my hand on the file and give you the information your asking for. Fortunately with the three new members on the board we saw the changes needed to prevent me from having to sue for mismanagement.
The current board abstained because of conflict more in their first few months then previous boards had in their total timeā¦ They are also the first board, thanks to Eric, that is keeping reasonably complete minutes so that we can not only know specifically what was voted on, but who actually votedā¦
In the meantime I think you should consider the possibility you might not have got what you paid for.

Given the numerous other established examples, including the Tinder relationship for selecting a safety equipment vender, I donāt think it matters all that much. There were also so many in the report that it is possible I am confusing two different memories. But there was an establish relationship.
But this is all an attempt at misdirection. It was Alex who was the first to mention Roberts PRIOR relationship to the insurance agent. The agent who LIED to US and claimed she couldnāt find someone to insure us. A lie that other members stepped in to prove was false and fix for usā¦ Yet another reason you donāt do business with people you have personal relationships with.
Are you saying I am trying to misdirect right now?
No, I am saying Alex tried, and succeeded in misdirecting this topic. Which was about the availability (or lack thereof) of our insurance policiesā¦
So the question was do we carry insurance, and what are the limits. Alex is providing access to the policy. Walter has concerns about Board members.
Are we done now? Itās Christmas and youāre about to all get coal from Santa.

IMO you did when you said āinsurance we were paying Roberts friend forā. Itās clear you wanted that little nugget in there because you thought it was relevant.
IMO, thatās part of the problem. Stuff gets said, nobody wants to deal with it and eventually itās just a mantra that new people simply accept as fact.

There was a relationship AFTER he selected her, regardless. Which is the real problem. And yes, particularly given the problems we had with that agent, I believe that is relevant.
But the real point is that actually getting this insurance information was difficult, and secrecy is a real problem with at least some of the remaining board.
Continuing to argue about it doesnāt resolve the problem either.
Walter has his perspective. You have yours. Robert has his. Alex has his. I have mine. You arenāt going to make Walter think the way you do because you really want him to, and you arenāt going to influence new members by getting in a huge 100 post argument about things either.
Let it go. Thereās even an adorable song about it!
I feel like trying to possibly be the ābigger personā and āletting it goā the previous multitude of times is actually part of the problem. If you think this thread went too long at 18 replies, I can point you to some āgreatest hitsā. I tried to even start using a somewhat cryptic emoji to signify: āI donāt agree with this, but I donāt want to feed the trollā. Itās adoption by others made it clear that people didnāt get that either. Perhaps I should have picked another starchy tuber.
