Now I spent some time in public service which is a bit similar to the Foundation now and there's things you do in public and things that you don't. As a board member criticizing one of your officers point blank in public puts egg on that officer's face and makes your organization look like it engages in open infighting. I would have suggested a more discrete method of discourse on this up front. Now, if that doesn't settle things, by all means, gore each other in public but as it stands this entire exchange and the constant back and forth makes the organization look bad. I think some need to take a step back, a deep breath, ask themselves exactly what this disagreement is regarding in the first place and try to go from there.

Hear hear. I hope the board reads this and has a good long think about it.
