Thank you Kevin for your support to the group and membership at large. I wish at this time to state that I am personally done discussing this situation. I believe that we have come to an impasse that is certain to escalate only to the detriment of the group. I apologize that we are not doing things fast enough and with enough transparency. I will continue to do what it required of me by the Bylaws the group has enacted.
Aaron I would respectfully ask that you do not respond to this email as I believe no response is necessary as I will not be having any further part in this discussion. Thank you all for your time. Sincerely, Kari Major Secretary Calgary Linux Users Group -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Kevin Anderson Sent: Monday, November 08, 2004 2:39 PM To: CLUG General Subject: [clug-talk] This Sucks. To all involved, Executive or Membership. This is not positive. The executive have done their best to run CLUG in a way that we're all enjoying. First and foremost, that should be kept in mind before this turns into a mutiny. Aaron. You did a great presentation (I'm about half way through converting my LAN at home, I'll let you know the success as I get more completed. Email scared me there though...) You've contributed perhaps more than any other single member. Regardless, you are still only one of a small number, and either you're taking comments from the executive far too personally, or you're taking too much enjoyment from attacking them. Back off. You of all people should understand the frustration of being attacked for something that you're doing in an unpaid capacity. Of course they'll screw up, we all do. (Look how long it took you to come to Gentoo, for example). Yes, Jarrod overreacted to your post. But you're just upping the ante, and the damage all around is rising exponentially. What good can come of it? Really, should the whole executive quit? You asked at the meeting who would take over for the current executive. These threads certainly aren't making that look attractive to anyone. I wouldn't want a volunteer position which meant I was spending all my volunteer time defending my actions. Would you? Jarrod started it, in an overreaction. But you're certainly not doing anything to contribute. It time to drop it, as Jarrod already seems to have. If I posted this on Microsoft's website as an example of the "community" that's supporting my infrastructure how would it look? Community is being destroyed here literally with each additional email. Membership. I suspect that this thread has been hijacked (not in the sense that's been overdiscussed here lately) due to misunderstandings and over reactions all around. Lets ignore the bickering, and move on to continue our discussions focusing on ending with a positive outcome. The goal here is to promote attendance and activity by longer term members without driving new people away. Lets get on that topic, rather than watching 2 contributing long term members; both with time on CLUGs executive; tear this group apart with useless infighting and bickering.
