[Ec] apologies and I'm not feeing very helpful

[Christine Schmidt]

Dear SC,

I'm feeling a little ashamed of my behavior at the Board meeting today
because I didn't contain myself and at one point "screamed" in all
capital letters in the chat. I thought about writing to the Board but am
decided against that because I'm still too inflamed. I am sorry that I
contributed to derailing the conversation from the plan to explore if the
Board needs a procedure when there are differences with committees.

These are some of my unfiltered thoughts about the Board meeting:

   - I can't tolerate the way April lashes out at Keith - consistently and
   predictably and it has nothing to do with what he says.
   - I can't stand the way April accuses people of interrupting her and
   then she takes a platform and lectures the group about white supremacy in
   the organization
   - I am furious about statements that the journal may be unaligned with
   the anti-oppressive mission of the EGPS because I believe that most of the
   Board members haven't even read the journal articles
   - I am fearful that the Board is about to cancel a p*erson* and not an
   *event* without evidence of egregious wrong-doing. ("A problematic
   person?!?")
   - Stavros didn't shut down the AGPA listserv. AGPA reformatted it from
   an unmoderated listserv to a limited and highly moderated one. There are
   many versions of that story. It is hard to trust when we don't agree on the
   truth.

I'm not sure where to go with this but wanted to let you in on my
frustration. I don't feel like I'm doing very good work for EGPS at this
point.
