I respect what the MOC Board does on a daily basis, the amount of workload and information they sift through constantly. Even with that said I think they were very slow to post some information about what happened. I think they are putting too much effort into crafting the perfect statement perhaps, while some other guy who knows parts of the story is posting it everywhere else, lol. Getting information out to the membership, especially when we have so many making donations and becoming paid members, is extremely important in my eyes, and clearly others eyes as well. I am confident this MOC Board is much more self evaluating, and will work through their small issues rather then make us bring them up every time there.
I make mistakes, a whole hell of a lot of them, just ask my wife. I expect people to make mistakes, use bad judgment, and I think in this case all they did was misjudge how impatient we all are, as I was anxiously awaiting something in my in-box or on the forums all evening as well. I was very disappointed I was unable to attend the hearing, but traveling is rough on ones budget. I was also feeling quite homesick thinking I should be down there anyways, lol. The Board will learn, as we all do. If I didn't trust them to run the group I wouldn't stay on and put the work into the group as an IT Department member. I honestly hope these guys tough it out more then their term, as they are all solid management for us, and we owe them much more praise then we give them.
