You owe Nate an apology.
I don't have to reread the brass core issue, I lived through it too. Nate had one of the most difficult set of circumstances that the club President has ever had to deal with. Just because someone is diplomatic and doesn't come out guns blazing, doesn't mean they are a bad leader. In fact, keeping your emotions in check is a characteristic of a good leader. I'd hate to see someone who DIDN'T do their due diligence in that job. We don't need people in office who knee-jerk react to issues. I thought Nate showed a lot of class when a lot of the membership were lobbing grenades at him.
Mike has a lot of friends who are concerned for him. I have seen a lot of posts taking issue with the timing of the announcement, and a lot wanting to know more about what happened then they may be entitled to know. I don't think that's as wrong as your pot shot at Nate.
You complain about the negativity on the board and you make a post like this? Perhaps you need to consider your posts as well.
Just my $0.02
