[MR] Curiosity

[Christofe DuBois]

Hrothgar:

How do you know the evidence is hearsay?  How do you know no defense was offered?  Unless you are a) Aveloc or b) a board member, you cannot answer these questions accurately.  The only information I have seen that has purported to come from the Board (with the exception of the An Tir Senechal's post earlier) is on Aveloc's site- the person affected by this.  Immediately, that information is biased.  It doesn't matter whose site it is--  I believe it an automatic instinct to skew facts to present one's self in the best light.  Unless the transcripts are made public record, which I believe they shouldn't considering the nature of some of the claims, we have no way of accurately judging the worth of the claims against Aveloc.

    We pay our dues. We trust the Board.  And life moves along with a minimum of disruption. 




   As long as we maintain the status quo as it is dictated to us by the BoD. The problem with this is that the SCA functions as a corporation, where all power lies with the board. The major difference in this particular corporation is that it exists to serve its members, and not the other way around. Without the service and sacrifice of the individual members, the structure ceases to be. That should give us more than the usual amount of interest in things. 
   I'm not necessarily trying to defend Aveloc. Many of the allegations made against him I have no first hand knowledge of. I have only stated the facts that I know. I'm not ready to accuse the BoD of being power mad, maniacal egotists just yet. My issue with this is the way in which it was done. The lack of due process. The use of hearsay evidence. The fact that no real defense was allowed to be offered. The fact that the timing is just a tiny bit suspect. Ultimately the issue of whether Aveloc is guilty or not is irrelevant. The opinions of the masses on the subject is irrelevant. There is no way for anyone in the present structure to challenge the decision of the BoD. I think that needs to be fixed.
