Darco,
Here you can see a written request to join the FOCP dog committee. (We
caught Tony West cheating on the vote count a year later. Search for
discussions about "the secret six") The next forward is the written
refusal I received from President Jonathon Snyder.
Please consider Ric's comments about our exchange. In terms of logical
fallacies, it's called a straw man. Tony publicly uses this technique
regularly. He uses it to intimidate people by attempting to alter a
person's position in a way that would make them appear foolish or
dishonest. Then, he argues against the position of the created straw man.
This technique assumes that the readers of the listserv are idiots and
can not detect the technique. Ric has shown you that it's pretty easy
for reader's to detect the deception.

Glenn,
I got your check so you are paid up. Thanks for volunteering. I advised
the committee at its first meeting that its members must inevitably deal
with requests by other FoCP members to participate or provide input in
other ways; and that they would have to determine their own ability to
handle that and establish their own procedures for it. The committee
will be organizing itself when it meets again. Its overall work will
take quite some time, so there will be no rush to decision-making
that might exclude your input.
In the meantime, any member's input that I receive myself, as president
or as chair of the Membership Committee, I shall forward straight to
Jonathan.
-- Tony

Hi Jonathan,
I would very much like to join the committtee discussing the
Clark Park dog culture. I've been a part of that culture since 1981
and currently bring Sam since 1998. Also, I have been part of
organized discussions about the dog culture since 2001, and I have a
good bit to contribute on this topic.
My membership recently lapsed so I will drop off a check today
to Tony West. Except for that lapse, I have been a member of the
association continuously since 1996.
Feel free to call, 215 382 4565. Thank you.
Glenn Moyer
Request as FoCP member to help represent the interests of the
existing dog culture.
