I challenge Al Morin to a Debate
Mr. Morin:
After you insulted me by calling me a coward on June 10th in front of my house guest, I have thought about what would be a fair way to air our differing views about how to govern our community. You obviously think I should attend your monthly circus meetings and I just don’t see any value in doing so. Your rules of behavior are not conducive to an open discussion of any issue. Screaming and hollering at me during a meeting where you won’t let me talk, is not anyone’s idea of fair play. As you should know if you read any of my written articles about Point Aquarius, I always favor fairness.
I challenge you to a debate of community issues.
The playing field can be made level by holding this event at a place where there is a microphone so everyone in attendance can hear what is said. It can be set up similar to a political debate. Each of us will have 2 or 3 minutes to answer the question, followed by a rebuttal of 1 minute. No cackling from your wife will be allowed as occurred last Saturday. No hissing or booing from the Garden Club either. Since I don’t have any rude followers, there will be no disruption from my side. We can just let the audience listen to the answers to the questions asked without a sideshow. Seems fair to me!
By way of a copy of this email, I have invited Nancy Flake of the Conroe Courier to act as mediator. She has written fair and unbiased articles about the recent court actions. We can each submit at list of questions to her, but they must be related to the community and be of interest to the residents. If you have a checkered past, I am not interested in knowing about any of that. She can select the questions and ask some of her own too. Once finished, we can entertain questions from the audience.
According to the Point Aquarius web site you have been POA President, Vice President and now Vice President again. This should make you the most knowledgeable person in our community concerning POA matters. Whether this constant repetition as an officer is good for the community is likely to be a question on the list. To me, it seems best to rotate officers annually, so one person’s stagnant ideas don’t get stuck in place too long. I can hardly wait to hear your answer to this question.
My proposal is that we split any cost evenly. That means you pay half and I pay half. It shouldn’t be much and it may well turn out to be totally free. If the rules are followed, this will be a fair event. The residents will get some answers to questions that are long overdue, provided you choose to provide all the facts and not cover anything up. I encourage you to be truthful. You have my pledge that I will be.
An even better but probably not doable method to clear the air would be to testify under oath in front of Judge K Michael Mayes. I am certainly willing, but Judge Mayes likely has more pressing matters to work on than intervention in POA governance. I will try to reach him once you agree to testify. Please respond yes or no by Friday June 18, 2006.
This message will be posted to inform all residents. The blog is as follows in case you haven’t looked at it:

Those interested are encouraged to post prospective questions in the comments section. The residents don’t want to see the libelous junk being posted. Let’s try to be professional about this.
