... The truth is, I am genuinely bewildered and finding it very hard to understand why James says things that the entire rest of the board find contrary to fact.
With one exception that I can think of, everything James has said has
so far turned out to be true. The exception is that he said Dariusz had seconded the motion to accept the Knight grant, but in fact it was Denny. When the error was pointed out, he corrected himself. [1]
If you're saying he got other things wrong, i t would be better to show us where.
For example, in your 29 February 2016 email to James, you wrote that James had "said publicly that you wrote to me in October that we were building a Google-competing search engine and that I more or less said that I'm fine with it. Go back and read our exchange. There's just now [sic] way to get that from what I said ..."
It would help if you would publish the October 2015 exchange so that we can judge it for ourselves. James has published his 7 October email to the Board. [2]
Also, please point to where James said publicly that you more or less said you were fine with building a Google-competing search engine. I don't recall him saying anything like that. (If he had, someone would have asked for more information about your statement, and I don't recall anyone asking that either.)
