Thank you “batman forever” for admitting that my posts have contained ACCURATE information. But, you still don’t have it right. You named THREE of US, not quite a “lumping together” IMO.

Your apology is clouded by inflammatory allegations. You claim that my opinion is designed to enrage the masses. I believe that your comments are designed to discredit me and agitate the situation. You can ruin my reputation and a forum thread with those tactics.

The thread was about a rumored assessment – the rumor was not accurate. The last 2 general membership meetings the Board discussed taking care of the retaining walls withOUT the need for any assessment. I was surprised to hear the rumor – but it was presented as a rumor, not the gospel. Then I pointed out what I believe to be an inequity in the MVYC annual fee and assessment structure. Did you read what I said?

It (the fee and assessment system) probably won’t ever change. How can you consider that enraging the masses? It seems that you batman are the one trying to enrage. I never suggested that this was brought up at past meetings or implied that we should make a change. Those were YOUR WORDS and ideas, not mine. I believe that it would be difficult if not impossible to change the annual MVYC flat fee structure. The fee system is no secret and perspective member/owners are free to join/buy or not. I am free to point out what I see as the inequities of the system.

I've been waiting for a response to jrc's question about MVYC slips, no one answered him. Where are all the MVYCers who want to see only accurate information? Other good points were made here about the MVYC policy and their Boards' sentiment about this forum. Those topics are different from the assessment rumor and I've heard some new rumors about MVYC which I'll save for a different thread.

batman forever, please open you mind as wide as you open the bat cave. Thank you.
