How desperate must the former "L...Fascinating. How desperate must the former "LVBN opposing prez. candidate" be to invest such an inordinate amount of her time - spreading the 'good cheer' to any "free outlet" on the bandwidth - on a calculated "smear campaign" against Walt Garvin. <br /><br />Am I not mistaken? Wasn't Mary Pierce running for LVBN office last year -- and LOST?<br /><br />For several members present at the meeting when the election results were read last year, the frightening response by Mary and her entourage - and I quote "OMG... HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN? HOW DID WE LOSE?" says more about her sense of supposed 'open and non-calculating means' than any of the ugly accusations she's been torching Walt with. <br /><br />One has to wonder WHY the surprise? ..the indignancy and disbelief with which they regarded their loss. That, to me, is much more suspicious than any empty accusations. When that person then leads an entourage of ugly character assassination against their former opponent, two things come to mind: 1) Why the feverish, emotional hatred and lack of professionalism over the voted loss?; and 2) Is this really the kind of person that ANYONE would have wanted to run the ship to begin with? <br /><br />Since that fateful day when she and her entourage LOST the election ...they seem to have entered into a non-stop campaign to discredit their own perceived "opposition". Instead of working together as a unit - recognizing that the LVBN is a VOLUNTEER organization meant to be an enjoyable membership for those who enjoy/love/support the blues... she has effectively turned it into a MOB MENTALITY Harassment and Haranguing Committee that wreaks of insecurity and ugliness. <br /><br />And, speaking of "volunteering"... unlike the Board members who give their time freely to the LVBN... doesn't Mary Pierce run a business that profits from the marketing of placing Blues Bands in specific locations? hmmmm.... sounds like a bit of a conflict of interest to me.<br /><br /><br />Frankly, reading the commentary on the LVBN page is like watching a public stoning... where even innocent bystanders are drawn into the ugliness of Adult-Sized Whining and - even more frightening - unsubstantiated accusations that in most courts of law would be considered libelous.<br /><br />Opinions are one thing; slanderous unsubstantiated accusations are quite another thing altogether.<br /><br /><br />Frankly, they're making the LVBN look like an Adult-Sized-Private Sandbox.. with all the ugliness of childlike insecurities, attacks and bullying that - if it were happening on the schoolyard, would now be considered fodder for Bullying Lawsuit -- to TEACH CHILDREN HOW TO BE CIVILIZED TO ONE ANOTHER.<br /><br />Grow Up, Mary, et al.<br /><br />In that proverbial snippet of wisdom (modified for present members):<br /><br />Les is More!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-53525717070481917942011-10-04T16:35:44.062-04:002011-10-04T16:35:44.062-04:00Yes REALLY.
