Proud of myself, I think
Apr. 24th, 2011 16:49Just sent an email to the leadership group in our BNI requesting they lay a cease and desist order on one of our highly contributing members who keeps sending out jesus notes of one type or another. I was just annoyed for the past couple of months but three days ago he forwarded a link from AFA who actively attacks gays and is doing a support Chick Fil a (http://www.afa.net/) 'buy' cott this week. I was truly offended and really pissed off that he was using the email contacts that I helped him get through our networking group to forward an agenda that violated everything (and everyone) I hold dear.
I decided against personal confrontation but thought just blocking his email was not enough. So I took it to the leadership team requesting that they shut him down. I would have just let it go a while back. But I have acquired a daughter in the past year and she is gay and I will defend my family.
The matter was turned over to the executive team in our group who are in a position to handle it with less emotion than I. However it will be handled one way or another. I put up with a lot of right wing christian crap in this community but even in the very public position I frequently find myself I've got limits. And standards.
On the other hand, this is not going on facebook. I'm not stupid!
