Hey Jon-
I don't think Henry is asking for your commentary. His question seems to be directed at the misunderstanding on what "Addressing the problem" constitutes for each party involved. It appears these are significantly different. My suspicions are that Jason took a well-reasoned look at Mike's commentary, cut away some of the rather... shall we say... incensive embellishments, and realized that the underlying insight and argument is not only sound, but pointed and worthy of the highest consideration: Alex's. I can only assume that Alex, with his busy schedule, was unable to give it the same scrutiny, an unfortunate oversight which might have been exacerbated by the aforementioned embellishments.

So the only thing that Jason is guilty of is... doing his job. Which is why we're rather concerned about his removal, because not only does it punish a very capable officer of this organization for fulfilling the duties of his position, but it also overrides the confidence and mandate we invested within Jason when we elected him.

Additionally, what Alex has done is created a mandate by which his own actions are no longer accountable. Why? Because at no point in this process is there evidence that an empowered impartial third party been asked to do any more than offer a rubber stamp to his decision. Now, this may have been his intent, though having worked closely with Alex I highly doubt that.

I would hate to see both the confidence of our members eroded by an action that is likely to have far-reaching repercussions, because it damages the member-inclusive policies that White-Wolf's Marketing Team has spent so much time establishing. After all, in this market, Customer Satisfaction *is* the Bottom Line.
