As for resigning being an admission of some sort of guilt, I don't think it will come across this way. Your resignation letter could clearly state that you are doing it to support the Club's desire to comply with the AMA. It would be a big symbolic boost for the Club at a minimum, and put those that are not willing to resign in the spot light regarding their true motives.
Here again, I am the one who made the motion to rescind the rule with apologies to those effected.....I certainly at the first reasonable opportunity jumped in and did what was best for all involved..... I take no responsibility for the actions of the club members motion and vote nor the actions or words of those when I am not even there....but I HAVE sure taken a beating since....

I'm only trying to find out what you're going to do. I would please like an answer to my original question, which I'll clarify a little: what do you think the AMA is asking you and the other officers to do in order to maintain your club's charter?
Thanks a lot.

Bill Verge played a very balanced role.In fact Bill wa sin regular contact with Andy prior to the meeting Andy attended and thought that Bill was trying to work out a resolution with Andy..As for his role the night of the meeting? I only know what the minutes said, I do not feel comfortable assuming. What I will say is that the things that have been said about Bill are hurtful and disgraceful....

Chris,

I have been following this whole mess off and on. I think the thing that disturbs me most of all that has transpired is the attack on you personally. I hope you are doing well and this person is prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

My question is this, Are you absolutely sure that this attack was a direct result of the issues with your club? Are you absolutely sure that the individual that attacked you was a FG member? If you answer no to either of those questions how is that Baj got that impression?

Hope things work out for all...

Now that is pretty funny right there. You will (ironically) fit in very well with the group here on FG, after we cool our heads a bit.

Oh, and I am 6' 6" and 275# and size is completely irrelevant. Threats or counterthreats of physical violence are NOT what FG is all about. Occasionally we argue passionately about issues, but when we get out of line other members generally try to reign us back into line.

At the end of the day we all just fly toy airplanes and giggle like little boys with a new puppy.

I think at this point, I am thinking I need to contact Andy and get clear on all aspects of what is being asked. As for me stepping down, I have not yet made a decision as I WILL not infer any guilt or responsibility in what has happened..Nor will I be threatened. Again, I was the one who made the motion to fix this whole mess!!

SSRCCPREZ, I would like an answer to my question and let's clear this once and for all, was it a member of the flying giants or anyone related to the flying club that attacked you or was there anything that associated this attack has with anything to do with flying?

Good job on the motion to remove the GS ban. You deserve to be recognized for that. I still can't understand why you won't honor the AMA's demand for resignation. It is an important symbolic statement that needs to be made, if as you say, you are most interested in doing what is best for all involved.
