Surely not. There are always different things that can be done. BUT the end result would have been the same, and that is the parting of ways between Jim and myself, and other Officers & Directors. The respect I had for him (which was quite high, remember I'm the one who made the mistake of nominating him for Pres) was lost when he did what he did, and then was so childish that he wouldn't even take responsibility for his mistake.

We should have booted him out and moved past that boondoggle, is what should have happened. Started over again with a clean slate. UHF may have turned out to be worthwhile if that had happened.

>, remember my role in all of it?

Yeah, sure I do, you were running back and forth, saying that you will always support Jim no matter what he does, and then you were begging me to come back on board and do the same. Then towards the end you even threatened me. How could I forget?

>remember the
>reason for it all

Yes Mark, we remember the reason - but you never understood the reason. And I know Jim never did. You both refused to believe that a little something like ethics would cause people to strongly disagree with you, and do something about it.

I know you both thought we were after something, that we had ulterior motives. Well, wake up - by now you know that ain't true.

I am a black-and-white guy, and as you have said in the past, everything is gray to you. To me... things are right or they are wrong. I felt I was in a situation where a leader was doing something wrong, that he had followed it up by doing something else wrong, meanwhile he was being blindly supported no matter what he said or did. It all felt wrong to me, so I did what felt right, and got the hell away from it.

>What i read and seen you did over nothing, nothing

See what I'm talking about here? What is to me (and others) a very important matter of integrity and honesty, is "nothing, nothing" to you.

There is no hope of us understanding each other.

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

Before the SHTF I thought I knew you also, but I had never suspected that you had it in you to be a blind follower and a glory-seeker. Go figure.
