Outrageous at the delegate Meeting

You had to be there to believe. There we were at the Delegates meeting we were at the point where any body can bring up any subject. The Wi-Fi situation was brought up. The first was a board member of a Association that had successfully installed Wi-Fi  in  a 24 unit building. She exclaimed that all the units had Wi-Fi and they were very happy at the outcome, costing the unit holders only $5 per month each.

Now the weird thing happen. The president of UCO, who holds the chair at these meetings decided to give his feelings on this matter. Although Roberts Rules clearly says that the chair if he wants to be part of the discussion, must leave his position as chair and then he can joint the conversation and editorialize all he wants.

This was pointed out to him, but it did not deter him. He became sarcastic, made remarks in the face of Board Members saying their approach to Wi-Fi
was working fine. The Chairman said,NO, that is wrong, I care not what you say, I care not what you think about your Wi-Fi, I tell you it is not working. It cannot work. Period, over done with.

This situation with the Great Lawyer editorializing from the Chair should not happen. It is against the Rules we run this meeting by.

It is as if the Great Barrister  can challenge anybody that stands against him. He actually, while lecturing a speaker on the Law as he sees it, challenged the speaker to show his Attorney card. Can you imagine, the non-lawyer asking proof of of another non-lawyer while discussing lawyer subjects. Ludicrous.

But wait. There is a good side here. Usually the great Barrister says that Politics cannot be spoken in the public areas. In other words no way for the opposition to tell their story. But when the Great one jumps into the conversations the other side has a chance to tell its side. The Opposition gets a chance to heard.
