[Businessmtg] Response to Jane's note

[Jerry]

Biz-Pals,

It is true that I was not a SC member at the time this problem occurred. I was, however, a SC member shortly after the fact when attempts were being made to censure, moderate, and delist ASP's founder, Steve - principally Sandie, Laura, and Jane - because of his positions in defense of principles regarding these changes and additions we're now being asked to discuss and accept (or not).

I at that time requested the email threads on the subject so I could catch up. My comments are based on having read through all I was provided a number of times. There is no question that Steve claimed his responses were regarding appearance only. Even now it is clear that the poll set up to demonstrate how the polling feature would work can not be stretched into an official Group Conscience approving content changes.

I can accept that I may have a detail here and there slanted a bit. In this I feel I am not alone. An acceptable solution should not be to take the questionable poll results as a given, but to simply review Jane's work product against the original language and content and make assessments based on any differences where they occur.

Difficult personality conflicts are in play here along with disputed facts and strong positions regarding them. The only way to arrive at a healthy solution I can see is that we all lay down our swords and shields, we re-address the document content, then come to an acceptable resolution and then move on.

Continuing the rancor can only lead to no good.

In service,
Jerry
