The real lesson of all this, for me, is that it ultimately confirms what I have long suspected and that it is bad English to talk about other people when they aren't there. And, if done publicly, it could be interpreted as libel or slander.
I think that one of the real reasons that I took the time to write those comments, was that deep down inside, I was applying for a job. At least in my mind, I know that they need help, in a big way. And the best thing that I could do for them is to take the position of the “revolutionary”. It is the business of the “revolutionary” to criticize or otherwise oppose the acts of the CEO. This helps the CEO to ultimately not exhibit weakness. The “revolutionary” is kind of like a boxer's sparing partner. Only, the CEO is not sparing, he is doing his business as usual while the “revolutionary” is observing his actions and providing criticism. That feedback loop is important.
I think that most people would agree that my comments thus far in the past few days have gone a long way to motivate and stir the company to it's proper course.
So, if your looking for a sparing partner, I know how to deliver a punch.
Hopefully, next time we can both agree to use the gloves of privacy.

They decided to add hundreds to the list since the International members may want to support something more relevant to their region etc.
All these updates are expected after 4th of July. (this year
