I would expect the Slab Free BOD to view his offer of a multilateral solution to the hostility as a sincere effort to put these matters to rest for all of us in his case. Unless/until that happens, I can only see the current situation remaining the same as it is now. It may well be beneath his ego to offer the same consideration of others that he has asked from us for him. The ball is in his court as far as I'm concerned.
