I know that I am making a mess of parlimentary procedure and causing more motion sickness but I have been asked by several Board members to clarify the issue within the motion so here goes. As a preamble, no grievance is too minor to be addressed IF the complainant truly feels agrieved. That is my criteria for evaluating a grievance, sincerity. The grievance at hand fails the first test, sincerity. while it perhaps contains some elements that need to be addressed the complainant's past history of disruptive behavior stemming from a desire to do RW in by using USGW as the hammer makes this a political statement with disharmony as the only goal. Therefore, I move that the grievances submitted by C. Hammett be dismissed as frivolous and purely political in nature.
