“YOU CAN NOT LEAVE THE CIC”
BCbythesea hears….
The CIC Board members in charge…..that started this train wreck are just not ready to hit the breaks…. find the train station….and step away…..
The” investigators” partner…is busily doing another endless nit- picking “payback” investigation for “disloyalty”…ala past escapades into former commissioner’s past performance in his career…..
Those around asked not to be a party to this “obsession” then….and are feeling that going down that path again ….this time for one of their own…. is just so wrong……. on so many levels…..
A large contingent are reeling…..wanting to turn the clock back….and “give the CIC Commissioner what he asked for”….period… call it a day…..and move on….
That will not be an easy task…say those in the know…..who are cognoscente of the excessive “internet investigations”….the calls to cable reporters….endless hours of latching on to a point… and “beating it to death”….because the subject had been “warned”….
Maybe an intervention….is called for….sooner rather than later…..
The future of the organization depends on it….. a mutiny might work….if the ordinary bylaws won’t suffice….
The CIC is a political action organization….made up of people who come from all walks of life….to assemble and work for change …..voluntarily…..for a long as they …..the FREE people of LBTS desire to participate….
Those that walk away ….whatever the reason….are not to be “shunned”…”disparaged”….questioned on their “loyalty”….or frightened…with “investigations”….or “payback” from more recent members of this group….in charge….
No one should be treated with “thug” remarks….told what they “owe” the CIC …….
Commissioner Dodd….is a walking testament of running for office for all the right reasons….for the CIC ideals….despite dealing with what was witnessed at the Sunday night CIC meeting from the M & Ms…( which is what they are called by those of us who lived through their tirades)….on a regular basis…..
We always joked…that after going through what the M & Ms doled out… during the campaign….the dais would be easy…..
WRONG!….
Same result….every time Stuart Dodd or Birute Clottey….stood up to these guys….the aftermath was volatile….and the “mantra” was ….”It’s Barbara”….
“It’s Barbara”…became our private joke….anything and everything that opposed the M & Ms…”it’s Barbara”….global warming….”It’s Barbara”…. like the all powerful OZ….YIKES!….
My downfall dear readers….was this….I had the audacity to believe …..
I believed that if a citizen put their hat in the ring…..they were the ones running…..for office!
I believed that ALL who worked with them …had a right to voice their opinions!
I believed that it was then up to the candidate to decide what HE or SHE wanted to do!
I believed you stood behind the candidate!
I believed in these candidates!
When that happened….guess what…..my “train wreck” was off and running….. and the days of counting down the calendar began….to jump off that train….. ASAP …..after the January election….which I did….
The “Anatomy of an Election”…..notes from it all……..kept me sane….for I wondered ……who would believe it?…..
After Sunday evening at the Yacht Club…..
August break just might be the right time….to begin at the beginning…..HMMMM……….
