Well, may be we brush off that bit of TF-dust from the biblical word (KJV):to discern...further consider it's probable Latin roots & then we have an "impeccable word" & meaning...It's quite difficult to avoid all the traps you could get into, buzzwords:...I was e.g. surprised, that Jules "hit the ceiling" with "shiner price"...well, may be I have too few...may be loveuptime (what Davidito had as ill...-treatment, misunderstood by me) could be one, although innocent at first glance...
I don't know..IM(H)O it's may be a matter of healing up, having healed from the past...if we don't hit the ceiling???

None of the mentioned persons need to necessarily have magical discernment, whatever that is...simply I thought it to be interesting, that they didn't think it to be a "big deal"...hey, whom can we trust still??? So I went by simple majority, may be they're wrong & insensitive & you know better...you could have published a GP-version ; ) ...

The thing which rubbed me wrong is about the things which were public..."never mind" about the things which went on behind the "closed doors"...
Carol vented something & later Acheick did come back to the board, wanted to say something & I thought, that some things could be clearer through the email...or deleted post...they do that all the time erasing or blackcolouring the sensitive stuff...too much may be...to be honest, "it doesn't matter" since I didn't get offended but you really misunderstood me:

"One last thing I want to address in your post, I don't know how you think we're supposed to satisfy you with information of what happened behind the scenes, because, being absolutely blunt:
1) We don't owe that to you or the public."

I never had the slightest thought,that anyone here including you boardmembers, or you WC!! were owing me anything...oh yes, sometimes I like clarity & if I can get it fine, if not, that's life...however to settle it & solve the "mystery",
I got involved, because I think it's sad, if people are left being hurt...I even thought, that
Carol went so far - being "strained"??!/distressed - of publicly making that comment, because there was too much frustration, her having the right,so to speak, to vent it....nevertheless as one counselor adviced: you help yourself in forgiving & asking the other to forgive you. Fact is, that someone got hurt & even if the yardsticks, the moral compasses didn't indicate it to the one -
kind of "vendetta" - I think it was wrong...& yes the rest can be better discussed between them by
email...
