I may be butting into a conversation, but the fact of it is this has gone on long enough. We all here know how both of you feel about one another and where each of you stands.
I respect BOTH of you as a neighbor and a FORMER neighbor. Both of you have contributed to this association bringing to the table in what you believe to be right, just and the good thing to do for the neighborhood and the residents here. Unfortunately all is lost if there is no common ground, or going by majority, only a contempt for the other.
JR, I wish you and your wife the best. While you were here you tried to make changes that you thought would be in the best interest of keeping the neighborhood in great shape, but in my opinion, you lacked the skills that were necessary to be able to do the job properly...meaning you blind-sighted everyone with new rules to be voted on before discussing them with the residents about what they thought and what they would like to see changed. In my opinion you and the board wasted a lot of the associations money on lawyer fees in the process to boot. I am guessing that is why some here, if John is correct in what he says, have problems with your style of governing.
As far as I am concerned, name on the title or not, you are no longer a resident in your home, and are no longer on the board. Leave the situation with peace and dignity by not posting here. It is only making matters worse and speaking for myself only; loosing respect for you in the process (it really makes me wonder if you are not actually doing this because you like to get a rise out of John).
Again, I hope and will pray that you guys will be able to find peace, good fortune and happiness in your time of difficulty and if by chance we meet again, I would welcome your presence with a whole heart, but it is time to let go.
Thanks,
Julie
