the reason several of us got upset in the meeting is because prior to the meeting we were contacted asking if the fsc could attend. we said no. we also said we didn't want any solicitation for support or mixing of the two entities. when the time came to nominate board members we literally felt blindsided as three people haggled in defense of the fsc and being a part of it. i then looked towards jeffery and stated. "i told you i didn't want any of this shit here." to me i took it as a sign of not having respect for the content producers wishes. we wanted the meeting to happen with no outside influence. we almost pulled it off. people can take it how they want it, and i'm pretty much done with it, as we did accomplish keeping the two seperate, but i was pretty pissed that our request to keep the meeting without influence one way or the other was not respected. if that was not the case, it sure the heck came off the way that many people in the room later relayed. it is important for the two groups to stay separate. that is not MY doing. the content producers do not want the fsc running or sitting on their board, plain and simple. no one can be mad at anyone about that. if you want an ally, sure you got it, but there isn't gonna be any of this sleeping in bed stuff going on.
