I would like to point out that e-mails posted on this list, while being downloaded by MVPA HQ, have not been distributed to the full Board of Directors. According to two of the Directors I have spoken to about this, none of the e-mails that have been sent to the MVPA HQ have been relayed to the Board members.

Not to undully reopen a major controversy, but I think all should follow
suit with similar letters. I have sent the following letter to be
forwarded to all members of the MVPA Board. Jim Gilmore, please note
it's taken a while but I finally had time to write.
MVPA Board of Directors:
Unlike a lot of other members who are planning on not renewing due to
your tyranical ways, I am enclosing my renewal check because by
remaining a member I can work as hard as I possibly can to recruit new
members who will vote you out.
Your treatment of Mr Jim Gilmore was not only high-handed but
inexcuseable and dishonorable........I will be glad to see those of you
who do not want fresh faces or new and progressive ideas, out of our
organization.
I also take great umbrage at the By-Law provisions you installed to
prevent any proposals or changes not to your liking.
Requiring a burdensome cash bond is unconsionable and should be enough
by itself to show how dedicated you all are to keeping your perks of
office and not allowing any ideas or people in who are not members of
your little boy's club, aka, the Board.
If you cannot stand associating with someone who does not follow your
own smalltime vision of the MVPA as your own sandbox, you should resign
since you obviously do not have the organization's growth and
advancement as your purpose.
I look forward to years of membership without people like you in charge.
