I sent this to all of you via PM but it is better to discuss here.... Yes we are all up tight about this. It is not fun or easy even if you do not like Jeff as a person. But we spent two hours hashing out a plan including what we would do and by whom only to change it mid stream and without involving all parties. This is not the way for a BoD to work. Yes things happen and some times we need to act quick but in those events the entire BoD should be alerted immediately.
" Due to excessive policy violations Jeff Mills was Suspended for a period of two weeks effective at 9:00 Pm tonight. He was called by Doug Robinson and informed of this action. He was informed that after his suspension is lifted on 3/1/2010 he will be subject to permanent banishment if he violates policy in any way. This IS NOT public knowledge and should not be made so. This was decided by the BOD lat night in an emergency conference call. We all hope Jeff will come back and be a well behaved member after this. But if he does not, that is his choice at this point."
I was 30 seconds from posting this like WE ALL agreed last night. I even reconfirmed before we hung up. WE ALL would look stupid with two posts on this topic. Also did I fall asleep on the call last night? I thought when we hung up we were only going to warn folks about closing the Off Topic forum. Now I understand it is being closed for two weeks period.
Sorry for my rant but when we make a plan we need to stick with it or get everyone back on the phone to discuss the changes. Things change and stuff happens but we need to all be on the same page of this will never work.
