I think maybe we should temperament test the folks in the GSD club and give their dogs a pass :0) Terry ________________________________ From: "ELG440@xxxxxxx" <ELG440@xxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Fri, October 29, 2010 2:11:05 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Do it, do it often, do it right, and do it again In a message dated 10/29/10 9:11:42 AM Pacific Daylight Time, carolynmckenna@xxxxxxxxx writes: Although I do not agree with the board on the current issue of settlement,I will, to be fair and unbiased, defend those who voted to allow the verypowerful business man membership in the club. It was reported that hewould individually sue those members of the board who voted againsthim. Some of the votes for him were due to this. Those folks were rightwhere he wanted them ----scared out of their wits. If you have so little backbone that you can be forced to act contrary to your better sense by the mere threat of litigation, then don't put yourself into a position to represent others. If every time I were threatened to be sued, I backed down, I would never be able to represent a client. I was very dissapointed to hear that one of our members as a guest at the board meeting, threatened to sue the club if they put something on the club's website. We then, rightfully elected him to the board. I wonder what he will do now as a board member when someone threatens to sue him? I hope he calls me. But, I know him well enough to think he will stand up to the threat, perhaps better than the board did to his threat. I am asked at least one or two times a month to advise about suing the club or another GSDCA member. I have been able to stop most of it. I sent a letter out today to avoid litigation between two members. Remember this is a sport, it is for fun, it is not serious enough to sue over, and for gods sake, resolve your differences without lawyers. If you can't do that, give the lawyer gobs and gobs of cash, and go for it.
