Oh. So you have no information to indicate the board made a mistake or did not do due diligence. That places you in the same group as the GM.  You just want to talk about "what if."

Let's see, the GM, an employee of the board, comes to a public meeting and says the board did not do due diligence. Now, you are questioning if the board did or didn't. How would YOU determine whether the board did due diligence on this or not? Would your determination be a fact or an opinion? Obviously four of seven board members believe they did not make a mistake.

Tom Terry was a part of the group that reviewed the finalists for board consideration. Are you suggesting Terry may not have done due diligence at that time? What exactly are you saying, other than a rather half-hearted attempt to defend an improper action by the GM?

Look, Thompson's comments were the golf selection equivalent of Thompson saying, "Are you still beating your wife." Any answer is damning. It was an accusation, plain and simple, and one that he failed to provide a single factual reference for making.

Thompson was grandstanding.
