Did you approve of Svag's Presidency in ASFAR?

I didn't, because he did nothing visible.

He was quite ineffective. David Schneider-Joseph did at least receive some minor publicity in that he was able to be on a national radio show (Doug Stephan, though the interview now seems to have been removed by Svag), whereas I cannot think of a single accomplishment of Svag's during his tenure, which is one reason why the Board of Directors was always understaffed and in a constant state of flux (whereas we now are looking at expansion), and he created similarly ineffective committees that did nothing (except help me recruit. )

Ultimately, that lack of progress was why Susan suggested that he not continue as president in December, and why I asserted that his appointment should not be confirmed in February. And that's what led to the chain of events that resulted in his removal from the Board of Directors and the organization, the chief cause being his deliberately obstructive attempts to delay the meeting and thus prevent a vote against him (in one of his more candid moments, he compared this tactic to those used in legislatures and assemblies, ignoring the fact that we are a handful of people in an Internet chat room). So he was effectively filibustering a vote, and would have done it for as long as he was capable if not prevented. He would have made Strom Thurmond look like Ten-Second Tom if he could have.

IF he signs up here, shall I ban him immediately?
