I just read your proposal....seriously.... is this the best you could do after all the months of discussion..
You could have done something fun for the Electric guys but instead you did the obvious.
Why were you not honest in the first place.. You never intended for there to be a separate E program.
You were so burned when we shut down the SAP change, that you strategized a different route to the same goal.
Your motives are clear and obvious, this is a two step process to get the change you wanted in the first place.
It is obvious that if this passes, your next vote will be to combine the two programs since they are exactly the same except method of launch.

The quoted post is filled with denigration ("is this the best you can do"), assumptions ("you never intended there to be a separate e-program...you were so bummed out...you were not honest...you strategized a different route...your motives are clear and obvious) and even some crystal ball projecting (it is obvious tjhat if this passes, your next vote will be to combine the two programs). All of this is unsubstantiated OPINION presented as if it were fact. It is an appeal to emotion rather than logic, an approach that is dubious at best and in my humble opinion, not in the best interest of the LSF and its future.
I welcome a good debate and have been known to be won over to the other side, but I do not take kindly to what is tantamount to school yard bullying and empty rhetoric. As I have said before, give me some actual facts and I will be more than happy to consider what you day. But when asked for those they have not been forthcoming.
As for the final proposal, I too am a bit disappointed. Yes, there could have been more included in the way of tasks, but is that a good enough reason to reject the proposal, to throw the baby out with the bathwater because something you proposed was ignored? I don't think so. There is just too much at stake, i.e., the future growth and vitality of the LSF.
I strongly urge you to vote YES on this proposal and help grow the LSF to make Soaring grow as this is what the LSF should be about..
