But I do know he impugned my integrity by implying that I was acting "Clintonian" in my statement of fact.

Why do you insist on kicking a sleeping dog.

I said "I'm afraid her 17 prior felony convictions do not reflect well on the FR Networks association with her."

You said "Just to clarify, there IS no Network association with her. The Free Republic Network did not even exist at the time the Seabrook event took place."

I said "Commonsense aka Julie Redick aka Julie Reddick aka Julie Gates aka Julie Nicholson: WAS on the FR Network Board of Directors until on or about Jan. 20 2002 when she was removed by the board for financial improprieties."

Just to keep it simple enough for you to understand pay attention:

BobJ knows of Julies past before Seabrook

Julie works on the cruise committee

At some point Julie was on the FR Network Board of Directors until on or about Jan. 20 2002 when she was removed by the board for financial improprieties.

Pick any date for FRN Inc?

And please don't say "It depends on what the meaning of the word "was" is.

"In the interest of full disclosure", ring any bells Jack, think hard?

At some point Julie was on the FR Network Board of Directors until on or about Jan. 20 2002 when she was removed by the board for financial improprieties.

And your evidence that she "was on the FR Network Board of Directors" is ...? That she had access to the FRN BOD bulletin board??? Even for a crummy sh thouse lawyer such as yourself, that is pretty flimsy. It would only be inculpatory if access to the FRN BOD constituted prima facie evidence that a subject was a BOD member. But several others -- whom I'm sure you know well -- were also given access to that bulletin board, and they were not members of the Board. So that cannot be the proof you're looking for.

I've been a member of the Board since its inception, and, while Julie had the confidence of many of us, she never handled Network funds, nor was she placed in her position in South Carolina by the Network. So I'm not sure how badly her mere presence reflects on the Network.

The crimes were committed against the South Carolina chapter, as hard-working and dedicated a bunch of FReepers as any in this domain. It is a tragedy, which we on the Network are working hard to help resolve. In the end, Free Republic, the Network, South Carolina, and our cause will survive, and be stronger for the effort.

Your concern is touching. Thanks for caring so much.

I ain't understandin' how a crook reflects on their board. It happens. Seems ta me these chapters got started like any club does,what with like minded folks gettin together to discuss what ever interest them. Things go from there 'n soon they discover a National club, so ta speak. Takes money to do things, 'n soon the fund raisers begin. 'Lo and behold, along comes a grifter seenin an opportunity to take advantage of some fine folks, and does. Soon's the honest, decent folks get a grip on what's happenin,( sometimes that takes a while, believe me), they deal wid tha problem. Hehehe. Ain't no club I've been in tried ta do a background investigation on any member. With like minded folks, a certain amount of trust is a given. Leastwise that's been my experience. As far as the Dude not sayin anything about tha woman's background, that sounds ta me like SOP. Don't know personally of any man what goes about sayin stuff about a woman's past, probably told to him in confidence. 'Specially if she looks atcha battin those big eyes. Heheehe. I ain't sayin that's what happened here, ya know,just that it wouldn't surprise me if'n the fella didn't know exactly what to do with certain thangs. Heheehe. Now alla this is just my take on things, of course. Just don't seen ta me there was any intent to defraud. Sounds ta me like a fast mover came in and did what she did best, steal. If this ain't about the gist of it, lemme know cause the only crook I see is the one what took the money.
