You sound just like me. Be careful or you will be accused of being one of my 'many aliases', of which there is only one. The HOBO claims to take NO STAND on the issue, yet a board member joined the fight FOR THE BAN. That is not no stand. You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT that if you claim to represent all stakeholders, yet fight to exclude some, then you have problems. IF you are for all stakeholders, and take dues from folks with big fast boats, then you should err on the side of INCLUSIVENESS, not exclusion. At the same time you could start an education campaign to fight the negative issues that are placed with the big fast boats. If the issue is wakes, why would you not ban a class of boat that, by it's very name, is designed to produce extra large wakes?
IF the orginazation was truley concerned about all stakeholders, and not just the puppet master, then they would call for new elections. The current board was seated when there was about 20 or so members. Now they claim 2000 or so. I am certain the board would look TOTALLY DIFFERENT if new elections were held. I personally feel that each board member should have to sign a 'good name and character' contract also. It is easy to say that 'they speak as individuals', but the reality is, they represent the HOBO 24/7. I have employees sign this same type contract. You work for me, you represent me when in the community.
Having been the recipient of MANY personal attacks here on this forum from several different board members I may have a unique perspective. I may have but I don't. My emails tell me so. The latest attack by feb was so ludicous as to be laughable. It was offensive not only to me, but to others also. According to his post, if you don't 'own property', then you don't matter.
I also have reposted here, some old posts that show one board member has some very questionable, socially unnaceptable views on society. Yet they continue to 'serve' at the pleasure of the full board. No other "board' that I know of would allow these people to continue to serve. Yet the HOBO defends them and stands by them. I know there are a few good folks on that board. Why allow your character to be put in question by continueing with the farce. Why not call for new elections NOW!? Why wait another year and let these 'bad apples' continue to sully your name? You are judged by the company you keep.
As for claiming credit on the water level. What a joke. The water level would be the same right now if nobody ever even thought HOBO. Do your ego's need so much stroking as to think that APCO needed someone to tell them the lake needs to be full? Do you really think it made a difference? If so, go see a psychiatrist because are delusional. APCO has managed the lake very well for 80 years without a bit of help from ANY of you. They managed it so well in fact, that many of you chose to buy/build here as opposed to other lakes.
Continue the charade if you want. Continue to defend the indefensable. Continue to let mouths like feb, lakeman, and bob speak of your virtues (while showing GREAT character with name calling and other adolescent behavior). Continue to elect and let serve folks who many know are biased. Continue to use me as a recruitment tool....lol. I will continue to do what I do also.
