Ron,
A very reasonable approach that I would condone in these sensitive times. A much better approach than your committee member Mr Mandell was proposing the committee intended to take. Might be worth considering who is authorized to speak on behalf of the Bylaws commitee.
Brian Finney
So, Mr. Finney, do you think that simply asking Jerry about this is somehow not an investigation? I've no idea what pops into your mind with the word "investigation", but I'm certainly not responsible for it either. Come to think of it, weren't you the one who was demanding Jerry be brought before the Ethics Committee based merely on what was posted on this Board? I think your words were
"Get the Ethics Committee in, do it properly."
Given my experience working with him over the past month or so, I'm not nearly so quick to bring some formal complaint against Jerry over what Glen Key has to say about who said what. It could all have been an easily explained misunderstanding by either or both of them, and this whole thing can get put down to people being too quick on the trigger to interpret and publish incidents in the worst possible light without doing a little homework. That is, unfortunately, a prevalent human trait on which AAW members have no monopoly.
Have a nice day.
