Did this really happen? I only ask because I'm trying to understand the difference between who MS appears to be "in public" versus who he seemingly appears to be "in private" away from other eavesdroppers. Yours is not the first time I've heard this kind of thing, and if it's true it continues to speak to a disparity between the "kinder, gentler" POCA leadership and how MS actually treats people in person. Part of the trouble seems to be that if anyone disagrees with or even looks like the -might- disagree with him, they are put off immediately as an agitator. It's kind of sad really.

Yes, there were too many that I thought simply couldn't be answered because there was NO balance to the answers, it was either I fully don't agree with you at all, or I think you need to fire everyone else so you can do what you want. I think the man is a closet narcissist. Why can't we have a middle of the road solution? Example. He says "he" wants an all-electronic newsletter. But what about those members who don't? Can't there be a happy medium where those who want electronic delivery can -have- electronic delivery and those who want a paper copy can get a paper copy? According to him... no. There can be no happy medium. You will conform or you will leave.

Hi Guys,
I started to fill out the POCA Direction Survey, but I can't.
Some of the questions are fine, and need to be asked. But some are designed to support one viewpoint over another.
For example:
1. I fully support the direction the club is headed in under the new President and the progressive BOD members who support moving the club forward.
O Absolutely, the change was long over due. I can already see the difference.
O Not at all, please stop improving things and leave it alone.
The responses can be interpreted thusly:
A. Rock on, you are awesome, and everyone else is an idiot.
B. I'm stupid, and I like it that way.
Seriously?
How about?
C. I support the direction the club is headed, but the President is alienating too many members and needs to tone down his message.
D. Why not have a free form text field and let the members write what they want? It's not like we have billions of members and can't sort through their responses.
Will.
