A very special thanks to Rod Grams for inviting me as a guest on his radio program Up-Front with Rod Grams. It was a pleasure to be interviewed by someone who understood the issues, lead with questions that struck at the heart of sound non profit administration and board governance and who shares my willingness to discuss a local public issue in a public forum without being influenced by fear of reprisal. What is most impressive is that Rod Grams was well aware of the Cease and Desist letter I received and was willing to proceed, as was I, despite their threats.
To date there has been no subsequent action regarding the Cease and Desist letter, again a defamation claims requires that MCUW state that something I’ve said isn’t true. They are wise to approach taking a position on such a question with great caution. Accusing me of defamation is to say that I have lied, yet no one is willing to go so far as to say anything regarding which part of my statements were not entirely true. To accuse me of lying is defamation because it is not true, publicly stating truthful facts regardless of how unflattering is not defamation. If they want to be held in a good and credible light then they must conduct business accordingly, not merely attempt to make the appearance of doing so. While MCUW can go through the actions of hauling me into court doing so would require them to go on record denying my allegations… so far no body seems to want to touch that powder keg and they would be foolish to do so.
