throwing the baby out with the bath water!, page-27

Hi Lenny,
the content of my posts are never going to sit comfortably with everyone,so I take solace in knowing that at least half of it met with your favour.

With regard to the varioius names you mentioned as being up there with the best I coudn't agree more (except for mine which has no place amongst such knowledgeable posters),but I think you would find that the vast majority on here (including probably most of those names mentioned) would consider CW - rightly in my opoinion - as top dog poster No.1.

The problem as I see it though, is that where the BOD of FML are concerned, he is between a rock and a hard place,and therefore is never going to be in a position to offer a balanced and unbiased view.

Whilst he may not be in the pockets of the FML board,his position as writer means he needs to hold their respect and, at times,possibly even confidence to glean as much information (above board) as he can, and he is hardly going to hold that position for long,if he is seen to be talking in - or even just agreeing with - scathing terms about poor or incompetent leadership on here,even if we were to assume that was the case.
I think the nearest he came to rocking the boat slightly,was saying he felt that the 51% offer could be a potential negative (or similar wording)but quickly went on to post further offerings praising the BOD'S efficiency and competency up to the hilt so that's alright then,not likely to ruffle any feathers there.

The content of CW's posts,strongly suggest that he has the ear of the board at FML, and in fact he seems to encourage us to believe that to be the case, and whilst there is absolutely nothing wrong or improper about that,it surely leaves him in a position where his views and input can not always necessarily be given in an unbiased way.

I was in fact saddened to read his response to my earlier
post which unfortunately only seemed to add even more credence to the thrust of what my observations over the last eighteen months or so have been.

Anyway.
The man has my respect (for what it's worth) as I have personally told him several times,and learning to take
some disagreements on the chin without drama or thinly disguised and usually unwarranted threats of litgatioin will come to him ...........eventually.
