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
