[DeTomaso] Anybody know why the POCA general meeting last night did not occur?

[Stephen]

Every club/forum has its dose of turds - That's the way it is.  Some are worth putting up with - because of their positive contributions.  But, at some point there has to be a limit to the crudity and abuse.  The shortt went way past what should be acceptable.  I agree that the Board should have discretion to ban such a person for life.

Roland, since even before MS was elected, he has been threatening members with lawsuits apparently as a form of intimidation. His recent  comments directly state he intends to destroy POCA as an organization, I assume for his own pleasure or personal gain. I was not present on the call and did not hear the context of such a ban, but if any one person's actions were to not warrant such an outcome of being banned, what other behavior would have to take place before it would reach that level? That is an open question for everybody to decide personally.

Is it more civil to degrade and intimidate in order to get others to quit or to set standards for expected behavior and let those standards apply to all members? The third option is to allow toxic behavior to fracture the club which is what has been happening the past 7 months.

MS added me to his list of people to sue  along the way as I was called a "Backstabbing Motherf$!@er". I can live with those petty threats, I just choose not to.  Setting standards of decency that do not allow bullying and threats seems like a good idea to me, but I am just one opinion.

age? What about his supporters? Send them out with a sign "I'm guilty" ? MS was voted by many for his promisises making Poca great again ( didn't i hear this very often lataly) What about his voters? Are they ashamed, for what he has done? No ! I haven't heard of one !
