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 recall when a TB member was removed for dereliction of their duties and it was done without any of the vitriol seen in recent times so it is possible to hold members responsible for their actions or inaction without "going negative".

I appreciate that admission Bruce as the snark factor has been quite evident recently and all I'm saying is I don't believe it needed to be to still accomplish things. I'll leave it at that however.
