Dennis Johnson ~~~~~~~~~~~ This phrase, "Constructive criticism," is a paradox...... "criticism" is NOT a positive... it is a negative. I don't feel that it's fair that all Listers who expressed a wish for more promotion be labeled a "critic," or that our expression of those wishes could be considered "criticism." I expressed my wish for more promotion positively, I certainly did not have criticism for NFHR BOD in mind! Not at all! Just because a person wishes there was more Fjord promotion, and expresses those wishes, does not in any way mean that they have no sincere appreciation for those who serve in thankless and sacrificial roles. It didn't even occur to me that anyone might take exception, I assumed that if a board member read about my positive wish for promotion, they would be required by the nature of their office to objectively and subjectively (on behalf of their membership) make an impersonal assessment of any request, irregardless of it's delivery! Regarding all member ideas and suggestions as viable insights into relevant Fjord concerns is simply a sound business principle! "Promotion" is a positive word and can only be interpreted to mean well for the Fjord, therefore it is a valid board issue, and should not be misconstrued as criticism. Please, let's not negatively MIX board issues with defensive personal feelings of UNappreciation Ruthie, nw mt
