This mite not be the right place to do this , But all party's involved are on this board so here goes.

This has to do with the resent nomination ballades for the IPSC Ontario board. It has come to my attention that there is a rumor circulating out there that I never sign a certain members ( I will not use this persons name in a public forum . You can P.M for the name if any one cares to know or he can identify him self. ) nomination form ( he is on the board as we speak ).

Let me clear the air. I SIGN THE NOMINATION BALLADE.

This is how this all got started. At the last Burlington level 2 match a board member ask me if I would sign his nomination ballade. I happily agreed and sign his ballade , this is were the problem occurred ( and this is it in nut shell )
I wrote down the wrong black badge no. that is it.
Three days later I received a phone call from the member I sign his ballade informing me that the election chairman has told him that the black badge no. does not match my name and further more that he does not believe that I sign the ballade. HE ask me to phone the election chairman and clear this up. So that is what I did.

This his how the phone call went .
I phoned the election chairman and inform him that I did sign the said nomination ballade that i have not memorized my black badge no. and put down the wrong no.
That is when he inform me that the no. does not match my name. I once again told him that I did not remember my number and did not have my black badge with me. This is when he questions me if I really did sign the forum. I once again told him what had happen. This when the election chairman tells me the he wants me to fax him My name , address , and signature and that he will decide if I was the one that signed the form. Feeling rather insulted and more than a little pissed at his last statement. I inform him that he all ready has my name , address and signature and if he has some thing he would like to ask me . With his lack of a response I informed him that I wold fax him and ended the phone call.

After I ended the phone call I faxed him every thing he asked me for.

At the triangle match I was told the the person that I sign the ballade for was disqualified because the election chairman decided that it was not me that sign the ballade. I was asked by this person not to pursue this any Moore. But after hearing rumors from several members of IPSC Ontario I can not keep my mouth shut ant more.

For the board of IPSC Ontario ( most are good hard working people , some well I think you can see how I feel ) you wounder why people keep leaving the sport. Maybe you should look within the board why people are leaving.

Sorry to be so long winded ( you should see how long it takes me to type this. ) but I hate seeing some one get screwed over and use me as the reason.

Joe...

I'm staying at arms lenght on this...but consider what would have happened if the nomination from had been allowed to stand.

It would have been another GunNutz thread about preferencial tratement for existing board members. Not the image we are trying to portray.

The nomination form was invalid. The instructions were clear...signature plus Black Badge number or print your name

I think the Board members are all hard working people. I expect the new board members will be as well (otherwise they wouldn't volunteer their time)

Delaing with it after the fact (with the possability of someone contesting the election results because of an invalid ballot) would have been catastrophic...and expensive (another election)

We have to follow process...and we have to be impartial.

I'm dissapointed with the result...but I'm satisfied that the Election Chairman did the only thing he could...

I have a couple of questions of you as IPSC Ontario director.

1) Who picks the election chairman ?
2) Why is it a board Member and not a independent person as the election chairman?


As for preferential treatment That is a limp reason. I made a mistake on my black badge no. nothing more nothing less.
 
I think that the main problem here occured when the chairman (and I do not even know who that is) suggested that the solution would be the Mobile fax details to him to make a determination.

If there was an "openning" to correct the error in my never to be humble opinion Mobile should have been taken at his word.

If there was indeed an "issue" then Mobiles error should have been determined as reason to disqualify that signature...end of story.

Since the option to fix the error was given..........it is evident that there was an option for correction. End of story. A mans word in a "gentlemans game" should have been sufficient.
 
not really sure this is the place to discuss this guys. but it already seems to have run it's course.
and yeah I was wondering why you were singing ballads.............. ;)

I should know better then to respond...so the devil made me do it :evil:

Where there any financial results posted during the time that you were on the board? ;)
 
"...a Ballade is a type of song..." No it isn't. A 'Ballad' is a song. A ballade is a poem or a composition in free style and romantic mood, usually for piano. Do da, do da. Snicker.
A mite is a wee parasitic bug that feeds on decaying matter.
"...a rumor circulating..." What rumour?
