You people are confusing apples with oranges. Alarge number of you must have voted for Carmine to judge or else he would not be on the National slate. Now, because you dont approve of his politics in this matter {and I will not say how I feel one way or tother} a number of you have decided he isnt fit to judge the National and some have even gone so far as to describe his judging faults. A little bit late,me thinks. I think everyone who liked Carmine as a candidate for judge should still like him for that job. What you think of his politics is another story. Whether you think he should be GSDCA delegate is up to you and the board. I have read in a number of posts that you think the delegate should not be a member of the board. There are ways to handle that. Let me say, I remember Jane and Tom Bennett were both members of the board at the time they were the Delegate. I know I will make a lot of friends with this statement but here goes-a lot of younger members (and I was one a long time ago who reacted to all such situations) calm down-give the board a chance to hear what you've said- but dont bring judging into this.
