I am one of the unwashed… meaning that I have only attended 4 GSDCA Board
meetings, and listened in to 2 or 3 more now, in the almost 20 years that I've
belonged to the Club. There was only one that I found REALLY difficult as a
Robert's Rules admirer. I do think that there continues to be a few, sometimes
more, who are rude and determined to disrupt with their own agendas. I always
found the whispering and sotto voce comments to be deliberate tactics and not
conducive to the business at hand. Perhaps, the naughty ones should be sent to
the anteroom for time outs instead of hitting the gavel!
My own opinion, of course…. Who else's could it be?
