Resign and let someone else do the job. It's really simple.

There's a huge difference between random snark for no reason and being called on the carpet for shirking one's duty. That's part of being a team. Again, I want to be held to the same standard. If I don't pull my weight, tell me and the membership in no uncertain terms.

I sense that there's a lot of thin skin on the part of some folks running for office this year. What I want to know is, what are the newcomers planning to do if the perceived snark and name calling persist?
There's no thin skin. We had similar issues years ago, addressed them with a motion that we felt solved the problem, and moved on. As a TB member, you can read all that history if you ever need sleep and don't have Ambien handy.

There's quite a difference between thin skin and diplomacy.
