<VV> Jackson's column

[Marc Marcoulides]

I believe I read some of the effect of a term on the board and am reminded that serving on our board is not for everyone

>"blow up" CORSA. With that kind of comment, why is he even a member, let

>I'd recommend that everyone burn any extra issues, so that no one outside
>CORSA ever sees that column. And we certainly ought to give new members,

>extension. THAT is how damaging I think his column is to CORSA's public
>image.

>To air one's dirty laundry for members eyes to see is one thing, but under
>no circumstances should we allow such negative opinions out for innocent
>(both prospective and new) members to see. If he has some positive
>proposals to present, he sure didn't make much of a case for anything. And
>after all his rantings, what pray tell does he propose to do about the
>problems?
>
>In the end, what was he thinking?
