SCN: RE: $86,000 (was: Put up or shut up.)

[Kenneth Crandall]

Hi J,

You stated my understanding much better than I could have.  I still hope
that the parties to this lawsuit find a reasoned way to settle without a
protracted litigation.  I further believe that some harm has already been
done since board members have incurred lawyers fees.  As I read the Bylaws
and the recently advanced Articles of Incorporation, SCNA must pay these
fees.

Irene, and all other bystanders:  this is not some petty, private quarrel
between Rich and three or four or a dozen people that don't like him.  It
comes down to credibility.  Rich would probably say it's the credibility
of the Board at stake; the rest of us would say it's his credibility on
the line.  You bystanders are the jury; the issue is not going anywhere,
let alone away, until you all come down one way or the other.  (Or all of
the disputants on one side or the other all go away.)

It is also a matter of a large sum of money.  As only one of several
issues here, it is an uncontroverted fact that Rich has sued several Board
members and other SCN volunteers, asking for damages of around $86,000.
And if Rich were to win, most of us read the by-laws as requiring SCNA to
foot the bill--which would bankrupt us.  Is this petty?

The matter is neither petty nor private--it could involve SCN's
existence.  (Rich says no; read the by-laws and decide for yourself.)
A fist-fight would be quite irrelevant.
