Jono,
No need to apologize because no offense was taken.
I read the GC posts as part of an overall due diligence effort to gain a better sense of the concerns that exist among our members. I also read them so that GHZ decisions can be fully-informed and made against a background of reality. My experience has been that the GC posts are a great source of that insight. I have participated in the past, but only when there was apparent confusion about Fraternity law – the recent discussion of withdrawing from the Fraternity being an example.
I have elected not to participate more broadly because statements made by an officer of the General Fraternity might wrongly be relied upon by others (within and without the Fraternity) as policy statements or binding interpretations. This is not the appropriate forum for that, and it would be unfair to the Fraternity and to other members of the GHZ and Staff.
In the meantime, I'll continue to listen in. To continue with your Wizard of Oz theme: Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
I hope all is well with you, Jono, and best regards to all GC participants. Keep the fires burning.
Sincerely in ZAX,
Lynn Chipperfield
Grand High Pi
