Like I said before - and will say again - if you don't vote - you don't have a voice. Not only for the outcome of the vote - but also to speak up to complain or give a pat on the back. The ones "in charge" made it clear they wouldn't vote in protest and to send a message to the national level. From where I sit, their not voting shows further evidence that they do not have GaGenWeb's best interest in mind. If they felt strongly about it - why didn't they vote against the motion? Because they are too busy being petty. The message is loud and clear at this point. Egomaniacal behavior is appropriate and encouraged in the GaGenWeb. But only if you belong to the rat pack. This whole issue is so high school it borderlines funny. I suggest we all meet on the playground at lunch and go at it. This is bully behavior. And it truly makes me ponder what the rat pack went through in their lives that has left them with this unnatural need of so-non-important-in-the-realm-of-things power.
