I still find it hard to guess who "A' was, because a sizable majority of members were, and still are, so complacently hoodwinked by sly hearsay and obfuscation.

Mohammed,
Although ‘legally’ you may have every right to do what you are doing, that
doesnt make it ‘right’. No wonder trying to get volunteers to fill positions is
so difficult and I wouldnt put my hand up for such a position for quids.
Remember, these people are volunteers and I really dont think they deserve the
pressure/scrutiny that you put them under. Why dont you put your hand up for a
position on the committee?

Dear A,
Thank you for your well intentioned feedback. I am sure that you want the best for the Association. As to serving on the committee, I would nominate for the position of “Rules Officer” iff nominations are ever called for in the near future. I believe I can do a much better job helping to simplify rules and make them clearer and less verbose. Personally, I would also nominate any passerby for president, to replace the present incumbent.
The reason vacancies on the committee are not filled is because we have a conniving quartet (M, C, T and N), who have a monopoly on decision making. This is why other dissatisfied committee members have resigned of late.
As far back as I can recall, the committee has always been made up of 10 members. The reason it has been down to only seven is because those four “permanent members” would like to cover up their tracks by hand picking six complementary members who are amenable to automatically put their hands up for passing costly wrong resolutions. Apparently, there is a short supply of such docile members. When did the committee last publicly call for nominations to fill vacancies? We had an AGM mark 1, and another so called AGM#2; did they ever ask for nominations?
I challenge the people you are so ardently defending to declare all positions vacant for a wiser new committee of ten. They can re-nominate if they wished. All positions would fill up in a jiffy. We might then be blessed with a few vibrant new young faces, rather than wait for natural attrition to take care of the problem.

From Harry Malcolm:
Just tell A that:
1) their first sentence is the weakness of their argument, their premise is wrong.
2) that are they by implication accepting bullying (until they or a dear person are victims).
3) It's the committee that are wrecking ASPA Vic, not Mohammed or his supporters.
4) People like A are called 'bystanders" in bullying terms, often regarded as the most at blame for allowing bullying to continue.
