<div class="moz-cite-prefix">John, this was irresponsible and a
direct contravention of your duties as a Board member. You should
be ashamed of yourself.<br>
<br>
It's purely grandstanding, as you well know the FCC is not going
to reach down and pluck John Coate out of his position. (If you
really thought they would, then you aren't as smart as I think you
are.)<br>
<br>
By asking them to suspend the station's license, you have
deliberately risked the existence of community radio in Mendocino
County. You're willing to take away the station so many people
have come to depend upon, just because you don't like the way it
is managed. That is a shocking level of hubris and
self-righteousness.<br>
<br>
You are on a Board of Directors. We elected you to help keep the
station going, not to tear it down. You are supposed to be
working with the other Directors to accomplish the positive
changes many of us would like to see, but it seems you have not
been able to do that. It's one thing to put up a slate of
candidates to change the Board, it's something else entirely to
monkey-wrench the licensing process. By doing so you have lost my
respect, and diminished support for those associated with you. <br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Tim Bray<br>
