I agree, if Ann couldn't convince him then I doubt anything anyone says to him will get him to resign... she could sell a freighter full of freezers to an Eskimo. LOL I also wrote him privately and NICELY requested him to withdraw his membership. He responded back that he is not inclined to do so, and in fact that he was receiving "Support" from GSDCA members and the Dog Fancy in General. I have rewritten him back asking what it is he feels he can gain by being a member that he can't gain by not being a member. So far, I've had no response to that. His reason for staying in the membership now instead of resigning, is that now that he thinks he's in, it would "look bad" to back out. Well --- Long story short, until the Board does its thing on Tuesday (which is still within the 30 days they have to make a final determination), all this talk on the list is just that -- talk.
