This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am responding to Lisa's comment about the member conduct rules proposed by Brian. Personally, I think we all should conduct ourselves in a polite manner. I have no quarrel with the idea of civil discourse.
For me the problem is trying to enforce civil discourse. It's very hard to do. The proposed bylaw language is vague and subjective. It has no reference to due process. It's likely to create far more problems than the one it hopes to cure. I admit that I work in the area of liability claims and have seen plenty of litigation involving associations during my career. While insurance coverage may provide an attorney, I can assure everyone that it does not compensate an association for the time and expense of the staff and board for responding to a suit. Nor does it respond to the stress of a suit on a volunteer board. All members are indirectly affected by the litigation while in progress. There are plenty of disagreements within this List and within the NFHR that have been polite and respectful. I believe we should keep that in mind. Margaret A.
