This type of "commentary" -- suggestively and without any factual underpinning denigrating the OPA Board without overtly naming the OPA Board -- has become emblematic of Ms. Clifford's approach to "journalism," "reporting," and "editorializing." This latest published commentary is in my view intended as aspersions directed at the OPA Board -- again without facts  -- masquerading as some kind of broad commentary about HOA Boards in general. And it irresponsibly and sensationally makes claims that have no basis (and none stated in the piece), about "bullying," "cliques" that "drink together," "intimidation," "harassment," spreading of "rumors," "digging up dirt," keeping "secrets," etc. The current Board is comprised of thoughtful grown-ups who take their responsibilities seriously and act for the best interests of the association in a business-like way. I see this in all that they do, and in working closely with them. Folks can certainly have and voice disagreements and lodge criticism in regard to Board decisions and policies, that's everyone's right as an OPA member. But distorting reality like this, I guess for the purpose of gaining a few readers or manipulating public opinion, serves no one constructively.
