Finally, a well known pundit provided the following sage advice which I will try to follow: "All board members should consider not speaking to the press about their fellow board members."
Yes. Excellent advice. However, I was not asking you to talk about a fellow board member. I was asking what action the board should take, if any, when a board member does not follow the sage advice and denigrates another board member to the extreme at a very personal level in a newspaper. I know Doug Parks and respect his leadership and I don't believe that this error rises to removal from office. If the terrible personal animus on display in the Bayside Gazette is an example of leadership, we have even more problems than I thought. If calling a fellow board member a "turd" in the newspaper does not rise to the level of taking away the presidency from a board member doing so, what on earth would? Have we reached the point where it would take physical violence, or what? I suggest to you that if Slobodan Trendic had said the exact same things Parks said in that interview, the board would already have a date set to meet and vote on removing Trendic from the board. You know it; I know it. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Joe, I am not happy with all of the recent commentary by Directors about one another in particular given that we had overcome the majority of that nonsense until about a month ago. I know and have worked closely with the directors involved and believe both have the best interests of OP at heart. I am trusting that we will discuss and work out how we treat one another and conduct ourselves. I believe that as a board we should seek to curb language that may be unacceptable by being either profane, incendiary, degrading or bullying in nature. I know Doug Parks and respect his leadership and I don't believe that this error rises to removal from office.
