Yet he seems completely incapable of recognizing that, and even though the vast majority of the BOD had walked out on him, it's still somebody else's fault.

Could somebody please buy Michael Shortt a clue . . .

The sad thing is that we are not against most of what Michael is trying to do. It is just his method of treating people that has caused the uproar.It would be great if there were some way to get him to calm down and discuss things in a civil manner.  Forest

  Hmm, a palace coup perhaps?

  I can not start a new thread as I am not authorized on your email list
  to do so, whomever gets this please share.
  A lot of developments today from the likes of Larry Finch, Gil Mares
  and the defection of Joe Stockett, Ed Mendez and John Buckman away from
  Laurie Basile, Mike Burnett and I.
  Thus,
  The 2016 POCA East Coast Rally is now simply the 2016 East Coast Rally,
  I will be sponsoring it myself in the same manner that I did the two
  Summer Summit Events in 2011 and 2012
  Nothing will change except now you'll need to register and pay directly
  here.
  Same plan, same everything, just no direct POCA Involvement.
  I hope that those of you who were thinking of coming will still do so.
  Bill Lewis joined us before and had a blast.
  Gil Mares and again Larry Finch have raised enough hell over Southern
  Pride Panteras,
  why they care is a mystery to me, but then again , why does Larry Finch
  do anything except complain/moan and contribute nothing?
  Today's lamblast and I kid you not - was the appropriateness of the
  name Southern Pride.
  I guess they had some Confederate Battle Flag image in their twisted
  little minds,
  A
  It meant a Group of Big Cats. ( education is important )
  Now we all know that a group of Lions is called a Pride.
  We also know that Pantera means Panther in Italian.
  Many of you know that Panthers ( like Tigers and Leopards ) are
  solitary creatures and do not get together in groups, thus there is no
  name for a group pf them.
  for a group of Panteras.
  Panthers only find another Pantera when in heat to screw them.
  Funny thing happened in May, I went to the so called Fun Rally in Las
  Vegas ( in the heat ) around a bunch of Panteras,
  Same exact thing happened to me!A
  So rather than continue to fight these people 24/7 ( and I'm not
  kidding, it happened all night long
  A ), I have moved all 23 of my soon to be official Southern Pride
  Pantera members
  to unaffiliated status and deleted any reference to the chapter across
  all of POCA.com
  Now since there is no Chapter to do the work, the HHI Concours display
  with Tom Tjaarda isA
  unlikely, so I have let Tom know that we (POCA) will not be bringing
  him here A for the HHI Concours.
  So to recap the days events
  East Coast Rally is still going on as a private party. ( please join
  me)
  Southern Pride Chapter is kaput
  Tom Tjaarda coming to HHI Concours is kaput
  Me doing the August Newsletter is kaput ( it was something, happy to
  share the cover art with you since I can not attach it )
  Me doing all of the technical layout for Laurie Basile for Profiles is
  kaput
  John Buckman, Joe Stockett and Ed Mendez have joined Larry Finch and
  Gil Mares ( the same guy who quit the fun rally job 3 months before the
  event after
  spending $1,200 of POCA Money visiting Las Vegas to approve The Plaza
  venue as the best possible hotel with Bob Reid ).
  This leaves Laurie Basile, Mike Burnett and I as the last of the people
  who wanted to make POCA a better club and returns the majority back to
  the
  non progressive side of those who do nothing but know everything, and
  are offended by words like "Pride" and specifically "Southern Pride"
  I have no idea what the future holds except a return to the POCA that
  was 100 members smaller and pretty much unchanged for 20 years.
  I've always liked TX and the independence of your Chapter, esp Bill and
  Marilyn, Terry, Kirby and others ( don't hate me for not putting your
  name)
  Gosh knows there are so many other reasons.
  You can thank the good folks in California , namely Larry Finch, Gil
  Mares, Ed Mendez, John Buckman and Joe Stockett.
  I just wanted you folks to know first, because there were about 6 of
  you that wanted to come to Savannah, the party is still going to
  happen.
  I'm still Prez and we shall see what happens next.
  Michael
