And don't ever doubt, for one minute, that some DID financially benefit from the whole mess. I would never advocate voting or not voting for anyone based on only 1, or maybe even 10, specific facts; the thing that bothers me about the YES voters, as I said before, is that only one had the courage of his convictions, and respect for us, to explain his vote and stand by his vote. None of the others have explained....their friends have made excuses for them, but, no explanations. They just ignore the whole issue. That is enough for me to withhold my votes for these people. Once I learn that someone appears to be not trustworthy, and they do nothing to dissuade that perception, what else is one to assume? Cowardice? Ego? Discourtesy? Whatever the reason, I don't want them entrusted with running our club. There are TOO many other, trustworthy, honest, brave, candid, open, ethical candidates to run for office and for us to choose from.

If any board member had involvement with Hunte before the vote, one should strongly reconsider before voting for them.

I would certainly not want him in our club, but you must remember that he is quite a powerful man. Some voted as they did due to intimidation and threats of legal or personal repercussions, not because they welcomed him as a member. The whole incident was terribly mishandled in the first place. it would be a petty and illogical base upon which to cast your vote.
