I'm surprised, Nick - you, a lawyer, casting slurs?..

Let me translate.
Rik has been agitating for change within CLUG.
Some time ago, which I've learnt to do without, as in now..
That is his right, but I
expect he should tell us what he wants.
..which is why you're waiting for nothing.
Therefore I asked him this afternoon on the committee list (which he was co-opted onto a while ago) what motions he wanted to have the meeting consider. I did this so I could post to this main list and inform the list members what was being proposed.
You want me to propose something, just so it can be shot down. Been there - done that.
I guess this is his answer, which ultimately will mean that we spend longer on the night sorting out what it is he wants.
If you spent less time painting alternative viewpoints into a corner, and more time hearing them out, you would make less incorrect assumptions.
Or we just ignore Rik, vote for a committee and move on to the main course, which is linux support and encouragement.
This is where a faithful sharing of thoughts was used as a weapon. To 'slur from your name' you may now add 'betrayal of trust', though we share "the main course".

From that came progress.
