Rev: "As there are at least 2 chapter websites, which one are you refering to here? Further, as you have brought it up, what exactlly is your position on the managment and format of chapter websites?"


Nope, didn't over look your question, I just have plans to get my rig ready for Colorado Fest and am trying to multi task here.....

This is how I understand the existance of the two chapter websites. One was developed prior to their chapter being added to NAXJA, the other was created to suit the needs of that chapter to have "looser rules".

Both were created in direct relation to a need. But the motivation behind each one is different. One wanted a collective place to meet, discuss issues, and events relating to their geographic area since there wasn't a forum for that at NAXJA. Again, I could be wrong, but that's my impression about that website. The other, already had a chapter forum at NAXJA, but many weren't happy with the moderation and rules imposed by the BOD on chapter forums.

Either way, the existance of both are great! They serve their purpose. I do, however, think that NAXJA has the right to take issue with a satellite site's conduct, and other situations where NAXJA is directly associated. Bylaws have a provision for this and I would encourage any action that protects the image and mission of NAXJA.

I just feel that it doesn't speak highly of NAXJA members when they can't abide by the rules that they agreed to when they paid up. Especially if they stick around when they're so dissatisfied with being here. If it doesn't suit them, then they shouldn't create waves here. And they also shouldn't demand that rules change to suit them. The rules were here before they signed up, no reason to change them. Same goes for satellite sites. If NAXJA's name is associated, then the same rules should apply for consistency and image. If the rules are different for a satellite site, then why keep the association? Obviously it's different than NAXJA.

Wow, did you really receive 700 PM's from these members asking you to be their spokesperson??? Mighty presumptious to create this diversity on your own.....you know i didn't...I'm asking because I'm sure the rest of them would like to know the answer, just like I like the questions others have posed.

As I understand the question posed, it's insinuated that maybe there might be some favoritism for seniority. Am I correct here?NO. Why insinuate here Red? Why not ask the real question you have?I HAVE. Why is this question not posed to the other candidates? Why not posed to other candidates...? Homework troy,..homework. ECKSJAY is not part of the lower #'s and I already know where Woody stands from personally communicating with him. i never said that troy...I never insinuated ANYTHING...you know the comments that have been made...I want to know what YOUR thoughts are on it. Please, if you need claification ask.



But I'll entertain the question. Thanks. We'd all like some entertainment.

I have lots of member friends here at NAXJA that represent the entire range of member number variety. I don't put value simply upon one's number, but what they contribute toward 'wheeling, the group dynamic, and the club.How do you feel about those that DO put a value on others based on their #'s. Because it has been brought up here before.

Member conduct on our public forums is a constant issue that the BOD deals with and I fully support that the strict, swift enforcement of the Rules will remain in place. This issue has caused some members to leave, and others to become more vocal. It's even contributed toward the creation of a satellite web page. As a member of the BOD, I would work to ensure that NAXJA's mission, values and rules take precident, but hold an open mind to the issue of the day so that members can co-exist with little controversy.

Do you continue to hold ill feelings towards the MWC because of past issues? Your relating "member conduct" and "the formation of satellite web pages" suggest that you may.

I think Red is refering to the comments in this thread were some hint that the problems are from the newer members, say 734+.

Josh,

I kinda doubt it was about that thread, otherwise he'd have linked it like you did. And if it was really a NAXJA issue, then he'd have posted it to other candidates. Red may know the other candidate's thoughts about his question, but he was supposedly asking the question on behalf of hundreds of other members...... who should have the benefit of reading the other candidate's responses as well.

The thing is, the idea behind Red's original question is shallow in thought. Who here would be so petty as to base who they're gonna like, associate with, etc... based upon a member number? This forum software has the ability to display your member number next to your screen name - ever wonder why it's not used? For the same reason that Reputation/Rock Rash got canned. No one should be so shallow as to make that kind of assessment of a member/user because of a number, rubies, emeralds or whatever.

Ya dig?

The only words that really struck me in that entire thread you linked, were posted by TomR:
"That is not the sentiment, especially from the members who have been here for a long while. If there are members who feel this way they are most certainly not "Old Skoolers." A few members have tried to redefine what this organization is about to fit their narrow view. They have also tried to rewrite history as if they were around in the beginning. No so. You are most certainly welcome here."

Les,

Absolutely not. The MWC is a chapter. How can a person have ill feelings toward an entire chapter unless every single member of that chapter all have ill feelings for one person?

Yes, I have differing opinions from those of certain members in the MWC about NAXJA issues, but there's no exclusivity to it.

I've stated previously that I don't have an issue with the existance or creation of satellite web sites. They can be a good thing. But I'm of the opinion that it's a bit of a bummer that they need to exist just so people don't have to deal with NAXJA. Why should a satellite web site be necessary when NAXJA provides so many positive elements?
 
Thanks Yellaheap ...

I seriously doubt anybody here has the power to delete records on other sites, or google cache. ;)
 
Troy,

Why haven't you answered any of my questions?

Is this an example how you plan on working with other BOD members?

The last name is spelled "HINKLEY"


He was last on a day ago and my questions were asked before that.

So either be nice or go away from me if you can't learn to spell my name right.
