Your reasoning in this discussion is unbecoming of a board member. In your activity on that board you’re involved in a lot of open-ended conversations with a lot of ambiguity and high cost of failure. I hope you express yourself in that setting with a bit more humility and introspection.

I find your tone dismissive, condescending and snarky. I made a (hedged) statement that turned out to be incorrect, updated the blog post, and moved on. I didn't think it was a statement of great consequence, certainly nothing to fixate on.

Do you share that link with everyone who disagrees with you? It comes across as an overreaction. Another way to deal with critical feedback would be to understand it at a deeper level instead of being reactive.

I’ll help you out. A bunch of us here deal with board members on a daily basis. Some board members are great, others not so much. To hear that there is a board out there that gave voting rights to an employee makes us experience two simultaneous sensations: 1. Hell yeah!, and 2. I wonder if they picked the right employee.

I’ll leave it at that.
