I never made mention of Manny in my message ... I am referring to people who have a proven history of writing negative, accusatory comments in regards to OBC activities, and also personally against OBC Board members.
And I am also referring to people who have never participated in OBC activities this year, but in late September they decided to join the club. One must ask why? ... my guess is so that they can come to the AGM and vote. While its true that all members are allowed an equal vote according to the constitution, I fail to understand what reason people would have to vote if they have not taken part in any of the club events. Many people have written to me since my posting saying they want to be part of a CYCLING club, not a political organization. I could not agree more with this statement, I have been saying this since I started as a Board member. My post was an attempt to bring to light issues of another group with political interests "taking over" the OBC (taking over is an actual quote I heard). I supported Avery so loudly because he is determined to keep the focus of the OBC on those events that members have shown interest in. Maybe my method was flawed, but I am not going to apologize for doing what I have done. And I truly wish I could be at the AGM where I could have brought these things to light in a more proper way. Unfortunately, I am currently in Vancouver for work. I wish you all well tonight. I hope things don't get out of hand, but that all issues are discussed in a thoughtful, meaningful way.
