 -> Jack, you had a hearing.  I called it myself.  There was no need for
 -> you to be present to explain your actions because your actions were
 -> made in public and you had made your intentions very clear.  While
 -> your message post was certainly the "straw that broke the camel's
 -> back", it was not the reason for your dismissal.

         You would work out well in the People's Republic of China,
 Dennis. People there don't get heard either when on trial.

 ->
 ->       You discussed FIG financial statements in public
 ->               (i.e. issued a press release concerning them)

         You had already suspended (and possibly voted to fire) me
 by the time I issued the press release. I was suspended for posting
 to GEnie that "FIG is fucked financially", as you well know.

 ->
 ->       You were appointed to encourage new chapters.
 ->               No new chapters were added.

         That's a lie, Dennis! Two lies, actually.

 First: A chapter was added ... the first Finnish chapter I
 constituted in Finland. I made the arrangments via Kent Safford
 and personally by Internet mail with Janne.

 The second lie you told is to imply that the charge you stated
 was ever made! The charge of "adding no new chapters" was
 never named before. At least, this is the first anyone here has
 heard of it. Maybe the Star Chamber heard it in my absence.

 -> I seem to remember Jack, that you claimed FIG would be out of money
 -> before the year was out.  Well we are still here and we have not
 -> had to file for bankruptcy protection.

         Your "bankruptcy protection" is the same as the government's:
 You raised taxes without delivering more services. QED, friend, you
 have proven my point.
