Cindy,
You bring up a lot of excellent points. And although I'd love to argue about our country's checks and balances system, I believe that would subject this thread to being closed due to political discussion. And I think there's a real value to all sides of the coin. There are actually three sides to every coin. A lot of folks use the phrase "on the other side of the coin", or something like that. But, the edge is the only part of a coin that's shared by both of its dominant sides. The edge is the part of this coin that I'm trying to reach. And the only way to do that is if the two dominant sides understand where the other is coming from.
Folks like you and some of the others who have met Philip have stated that his heart is in the right place and applaud his efforts. But, for those of us who have not met him in person, what do we have to base our opinions on?
His statements made on this forum and other forums. That's it. And for those of us who really care about our votes, how they are cast, and who they are cast for, continue to try and find that sometimes illusive edge of the coin.
Philip is right when he says that he doesn't believe anyone is taking this personally. I'm certainly not. It's a volatile issue. Volatile issues usually create intensely hot debate. When it comes time to vote, I find it difficult that anyone reading the forums would have a difficult time forming a conclusion. No matter which direction they go.
For me, I believe there are far better alternatives than a 100% owner-only BOD. And that is what I believe is at the crux of my side of the coin. But, in fairness to the other side of the coin, some of the alternatives I believe in would require certain concessions from the developer and the current board. Whether or not they'd be willing to go that route is still unknown. But I'm pursuing them anyway.
