This isn't the first time the BoD has used this type of decision making to push an agenda, meaning do it their way regardless of By-Laws, Procedures, etc. The result of the prevous two issues disenfranchised good people and in my opinion disrespected them. Is that what you want out of our leadership? Unchecked and unbalanced?

If a grievance was to be filed, it would need to be with the AMA because the concern being raised is regarding the BoD decisions. I dont think that is the way to go either as I doubt the AMA is interested in overseeing a SIG.

Broadcasting grievances against the NSRCA or inserting personal attacks in your missive’s should not be tolerated no matter how right you think you are. We would be better off just shutting this list down than let it continue. I find it disheartening, imagine how a new member who joins the list to gain knowledge and discuss Aerobatics interprets it.

Regardless the mistakes or the consequences, all of these board members, volunteers, helpers,etc. typically do this at their expense of time, money , effort, etc.  they don’t have to help, they normally are just giving back so that whatever activity can even exist.  Do they make mistakes, of course, lots of them, but they deserve consideration, real respect, and kind responses.  Otherwise they go away and the end result is an even worse outcome.  I have done my share of volunteering and helping.  I have received more than my share of unwarranted abuse from those of differing opinions.  It is offensive and oft times without substantial cause.
