The Letter on the Mailbox

I received a letter on my mailbox yesterday addressed to “Fellow Association Members”. I’m sure many, if not all, of you received the same. The content of the letter is quite confusing to me since I did not attend the August board meeting to hear what went on for myself.

To recap, the letter stated that “Mr. Smith and Ms. Richmond … abused their positions of authority ... to “publicly humiliate my wife in my presence using racially charged words.” I know the Smiths vaguely and I find it very hard to believe that Steve Smith would do such a thing. Now, I’m not a friend of the Smiths, I only know them in passing, and I don’t even know Ms. Richmond or the author of the letter, Mr. Quinlan.

Mr. Quinlan, in response to whatever it was that was said (which was not explained in the letter at all!) claims that “Both Mr. Smith and Ms. Richmond believe they can act with impunity and are counting on your complacency of silence to make you an accomplice approving of their actions”. My response to this comment, Mr. Quinlan, is how dare you imply that I am an accomplice to actions that I am completely unaware of!! Although, I do understand your anger if something was said as you sort of describe.

Mr. Quinlan is planning to attempt to collect signatures in order to call a special meeting of the members in order to, in my words, impeach our Board. Please read your deeds before signing because the way it is described in the letter, your signature gives over voting proxy to Mr. Quinlan – is that really what we want to happen? I may be misunderstanding this part, but I personally will not sign. I will, however, plan to attend this special meeting.

I would very much like to hear from Mr. Quinlan, Mr. Smith, Ms. Richmond, or anyone who might have attended this meeting. Please, please explain what happened, in detail, so that I, and others, can make an informed decision.

Obviously I attempted to go into the WAMV association web site and see what was posted on the forum there, but it seems that sometime near the time of the August board meeting, the forum was removed!!! So here I am with my own forum – you can’t remove me from here!!! (And, I won’t remove you, either!)

This blog was created on August 29th, 2007 after I attempted to enter the forum at the Homeowners Association site to find that it had been censored to the point of complete removal. I felt we, the homeowners, needed a place to express our thoughts, concerns, bitches, happy birthays, whatever we want, without concern of those with their fingers on the edit button. Please feel free to share what you like here at OUR blog, you won't be censored! Just keep in mind that most everyone who reads this blog are your neighbors and you will likely need to deal with them at some point on a much more personal level than this web space. I take no responsibility for the words of others, only for my own (that's my disclaimer).
