This was not a case of two miscellaneous drunks throwing punches, which of course would be an Ortt decision to make. We should feel safe in our clubs, and board members should especially feel safe, and their safety shouldn't depend on subjective decisions made by the club management. Who the hell will run for the board if they have avoid going to our own clubs?  Ms. Wheatly's husband obviously used great restraint . . . if the accounts are true this could have turned into an ugly, violent incident if someone with a different temperament was accosted. Is that what we want for our community, our Yacht Club, our Clubhouse?

And btw, yes, there are people on this form who have made comments overtly condoning this behavior, one even trying to paint TJ as a victim of a vendetta.  As I said in a previous post, I like the guy personally, I know him for a long time, but we simply cant't have OPA staff and volunteers bullied.
