Just when I think I have seen it all, I am again awed by the amazing agility of the human mind. The ability to twist truth into lies and lies into truth was demonstrated during an exchange I had recently with a UK Susan Boyle fan.
I don't call them lies, I call them a difference of opinion.
Let’s see… if you think something happened (even if it didn’t), is it your opinion that matters, rather than the truth?
I differed in my opinion from others and who I chose to believe, it is a free country.
You may indeed differ in your opinions and in whom you choose to believe. But that still does not make the issue a matter of opinion. If you choose to believe the earth is flat, that does not mean it is flat. It simply means you are wrong. You chose to believe the cyber-bully, but that does not mean the things he told you were true. It simply means you were wrong.
Thye (sic) and I were posting our thoughts as we saw them, we are entitled to our opinion.
“Our thoughts as we saw them”? No matter how divorced from reality those thoughts were, you cling to them as an entitlement. As the saying goes; you are entitled to your own opinion, but not to your own facts. Some members who believed in the takeover hoax appear to be so invested in the erroneous scenario that they cannot let it go.
I suspect that is why we did not get actual apologies for the lies and false accusations. Instead, there was generic one-size-fits-all-and-covers-all apology in the board report that did not address the behavior of staff last July and August.
In fact, the Board report actually made the situation worse. Instead of addressing the lies and resulting actions, the report perpetuated some of the lies and created new ones. This was a deliberate cover-up. Not only were staff unaccountable for their actions, but the report sought to shift the blame to others.
People who knew it was not true wrote and signed that report. Pickled Tink created and signed a report she knew was not true. Lonni signed a report she knew did not tell the whole story. Truus signed a report she knew did not tell the truth.
If the rest of the Board read the Aug. 4 report from lchris, they were aware that at least parts of the official report were not true. They are all liable for that document. And there is no indemnity insurance. I wonder if SBFII could ever purchase indemnity insurance given Kalua's personal situation.
