Since I have been put in the running, I am just going to keep this simple.
We all know that I am passionate. Indeed, it is my desire to see this group - and all other groups that I associate with to grow and prosper. What can expect out of me is really no different than what you see in me already - someone who is working tirelessly to bring about a positive upgrowth and recognition to the community. Be it t-shirts or "Jail and Bail" organization, what you see is an individual who cares enough to want the best for the group he is representing.
Not to sound like Eric, but it is true that we both want to see more activity from the membership. We both want to see more community participation. Otherwise, what is the point?
I would like to see OFF participate in more charity events, like run/walk marathons, and the like. But you know the old addage, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Not that I am likening the membership here to that of beasts of burden, but it is true that people are led by example. So, I will make it my mission to do so whenever possible. I will take on the role of setting up meeting gatherings, if that is what it takes to motivate this membership to grow beyond their means and become a Fan Force I think it is capable of becoming.
Some may hold my boldness in the calling out of questionable things as a deterent to having me as CR. All I can say is that I am not one to not speak out when I see something that is questionable. In the end, as it always has been, it is done so with the interest of fellow members at heart. One thing I have found here is that there is very little in the form of accountability, or advocacy. How many times have certain members said something that was just short of flaming and it never got checked, unless I spouted off - again, it was on the behalf of the offended. Yet, I've always been made out the bad guy? Personally,I would think that people should want that kind of person as CR - the one who is standing up for what is right, despite what the outcome may be.
That is all I have to say. I have rattled off more than I intended. There it is... you have Eric's statement, and you have mine. Now choose who you think is the best man for the job.
- Bill
