I apologize for posting a mistaken understanding of what I was told by an acquaintance who spoke with one of the original six very soon after Tampa.

Why aren't you condemning them for their deceptive behavior?

I still remember (last October) when both of you claimed a new organization wasn't being formed. That you had been told it would not happen by some of the same men who are now a part of this group.

I think your integrity is in question here. Your bias is evident, and it's troubling.

You both think nothing of questioning the honesty of men who sign an affirmation statement with no intention of abiding by it.

Why then do these men get a free pass from both of you?

BTW, I think both of you are fine men, I just don't understand the blatant double standard.

Please respond sincerely, as I am tired of hearing how "great" these men are, and what a "great spirit" they all have.

I just don't buy it.

I repeated what I had heard from a friend who had spoken to one of the original six.

It has been my understanding that this thing evolved somewhat from the original plans, which were the plans I first heard about.

It is entirely possible that my understanding of what I heard was flawed, or that there was some miscommunication involved between when the words were spoken and when I heard them.

I might be naive. I am admittedly biased in favor of men I love and respect and who have been a blessing to me.

But to say my appreciation for them, and my choice to believe what they say is an integrity issue for me?

I am not really following you there.

Perhaps they didn't anticipate how many were going to participate at the outset and when they found out decided it was enough to form an organization?

Stop this, or I will be glad you are back!

PO, I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, and I don't mind admitting that.

But it is just slightly possible that there might not be near as much intrigue and guile here as the detractors want to perceive.

It seemed to me early on that different things, slightly, were being stated by different members of the original six. That tells me that they really might not have totally worked out all the details months in advance the way some want to think.

The concept seems to have evolved somewhat since the first tentative reports came out.

That is what I think.

But I will admit openly that I am biased in favor of men I have respected my whole life, and am hesitant to believe ill of them.

As we should be...

I have many thoughts, but I guess I'll just hide and watch.

Sounds good, but there's been talk of another org since the GC at Salt Lake City.

Renda, Renda, Renda......any moment now someone is gonna tell you they are disappointed in you for saying such things!


Don't you know it's only deception if the OTHER guy is doing it?
