I don't buy into the idea that someone else has caused you to feel like |
| 26 |
you can not be open with the Foundation, especially when you've been |
| 27 |
working through that person inpaticular for the most part. I haven't |
| 28 |
seen anything from you or heard from you in private, if there has been a |
| 29 |
problem that you feel was stopping you from being open with us, you |
| 30 |
could have made the effort to either let us know or work around that |
| 31 |
person. I'm not making excuses for Kurt here, but the claim that you |
| 32 |
make of him having a conflict of interest in this situation is offensive |
| 33 |
to me as I know Kurt, so I can't imagine how he must feel about it. If |
| 34 |
there really is something along those lines, you need to spell it out |
| 35 |
right now instead of going around causing rumors about that. Remember, |
| 36 |
"OPEN" communication here, please. |
