This from Michael Teys, of Teys Lawyers:
Ever since the 12-year-old kid dumped the schoolyard bully on his head and the video went viral on You Tube, social media has become the weapon of choice of the oppressed. Our forum host, Jimmy T this week suggests the same treatment for Crazy Larry, the overly opinionated but well proxied committee member on flat-chatter, JudyE’s committee.
Jimmy argues an audio of Crazy Larry’s performance posted on a Facebook page will expose him for the bully he is and bring about the end of his reign.
Oh, contraire, Jimmy T. Publicity is just what this fellow wants. His type loves a forum and you would give him just one more. Strata bullies need to be deprived of oxygen not given another canister.
Jimmy’s other suggestion is the better one: a good set of meeting rules and procedures and united support for the chair to enforce the procedural rules. When Crazy Larry rants invoke the gag – that he no longer be heard. If necessary, adjourn the meeting a send him out to cool down.
A firm but persistent and reasonable chair will beat an overbearing committee member every day of the week, at least eventually when he realizes his game is up.
