Okay, I am tired of your constant insults whenever I challenge you on your behavior.

Walter, your behavior on Talk is abhorrent. Talk would unquestionably be better without your contributions.

@lukeiamyourfather

I believe your in a minority on that. I routinely have members I have never met or talked to come up to me an thank me for raising the points I do on talk. Which is where I suspect these numbers come from

I am also disturbed that you chose to chastise me, who has not launched any personal attacks, yet ignore Robert who has resorted to insults and foul language. I suggest that instead of chastising with someone you don’t agree with, yet who is acting civilly you focus on your fellow board member who is resorting to personal attacks and foul language.

I am not the first to receive this kind of attack from him either. As I said the board ought to take care of this.

You’ve done nothing in this thread but personally attack Robert. Hiding it in generic terms fools nobody.

It’s tough enough to volunteer for this job and still remain on good terms with everyone. Please do not personally attack others to make a case for your opinion. Your facts should do nicely enough.

This started as a tool request thread?! We are seriously into the weeds now.

Sorry, but your mistaken. I have been discussing the role of the board and our rules. It is Robert who has chosen to take the discussion personally. It is rather sad that folks can’t even recognize the difference between civil discussion and personal attacks.

Until, Robert admitted to the prior personal relationship, I had only rumors about it. Which is why I never named him. He chose to do that, and confirm the truth of the rumors. Frankly, I suspected he was more aware of the rules and law to have done so.

Not commenting on the issue here, but I do want to point out, that becoming a Board member, means your each and every action is subject to examination and judgement by a whole host of people, beginning with the Membership, and ending with law enforcement authorities.

I don’t know the details of the issue with Robert that Walter is raising, but I see nothing personal in his desire to hold a Board member accountable for his actions (though his accounting may be incorrect), nor do I see anything personally insulting about his behavior. Knowing Robert I am hard pressed to assume he knowingly abused his position, but he’s also still learning about a complicated set of responsibilities, and it’s also possible he made an oopsie.

With respect to rising to the defense, shouting “How dare you” and otherwise trying to shut down the discussion with browbeating and threats, you should realize that the surest way to make someone look guilty of something, is to attempt to suppress all discussion about it.

If you want to assume big boy responsibilities, you damn sure better have your big boy underwear on.
