Following is the entire message to which I was responding, followed by my
response in its entirety.

Well I guess since I am going to throw my two cents worth in I will
now be
attacked.
However, I am going to unequivocally state that I am and have been the real
CC for Walker County Georgia. I did not seek the RC job and somewhat
reluctantly took the position after Carla resigned. I did both care and take
the time to seek Carla's reasons for resigning prior to being offered the
position. She chose not to respond which is both her right and privilege.
She and I had an excellent working relation while she was the NW RC. Being
attacked seems to be the current way of life on this list.
The vote basically failed due to a lack of interest not because there wasn't
enough votes to either remove Tim or conversely issue a massive vote of
confidence on his behalf. I do not believe that continuing to rip your
garments and beat your breast over alleged wrong doing is going to be
anything but counter productive for the project. There was a period shortly
after the election that the list sort of quieted back down. Apparently that
has passed. What is the point of having a non productive - non decisive
election results thrown out. It was neither a mandate for or against Tim but
rather a statement of what is happening with voting in this country today
and that is basically the masses won't take the time to understand the
issues well enough to have an opinion. It is especially bad in something as
divisive as this has been since the general reaction to all the sound and
fury is almost naturally going to be "I don't even want to know"
