This message is from: "ruth bushnell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The ADS handbook is specifically addressing "participants in a sanctioned competition," as farther into the context it again mentions officiating at competitions. Here is the reference: http://www.americandrivingsociety.org/forms/ADS_Handbook/05_HB2_GeneralRules_Blue.pdf
..whereas the proposed conduct bylaw that was suggested stated, "AT ALL TIMES," which is taking on a whole 'nother world. (Internet mentioned too) Said also, "Must show respect" (at all times) which would include Lisa and her duct tape =)))).. which would be nothing short of ridiculous because we all know that's just Lisa being Lisa. Incidentally, I have never sued anyone, but many monied (miffed) people do, and I can think of no greater justification than being given the boot by a breed club--which would seriously impact your profit and loss! This is reality, not speculation on my part. When I saw the suggestion for the bylaw posted, I thought it was up for discussion.. tell me, why else would it be there? NOW would be the comment time to contribute input, right? Material for conflicted interest would come if any person in authority stood to gain by another's dismissal,for example; a breeder or breeders on the board executing the dismissal of another breeder (their loss/their gain), not to mention loss of face which has it's $$ reward also. As far as "all times" reaching out to include cyberspace,that's shooting for the moon and stars; another hemisphere. There is no direct connection between the organization and the list, other than a link sponsorship.. but Gail is right, that is Steve's department. We could always fall back on the old golden rule, treating others as we wish to be treated? investing kindness for like dividends.. probably not as gratifying as authority though. Okay.. bring on the duct tape, I'm done =))))) Ruthie, nw mt US The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
