Tim,<div><br></div><div>Please. I suppose I must be a paranoid conspiracy theorist who just made all this up because I love victimization. As someone who has been to 13 of the last 14 board meetings and who was the host of Open Lines for eight years, I may be the most informed individual outside of staff in terms of understanding the inner workings of KZYX. I have spoken with John and Mary for countless hours about their perspectives on running the station as well as speaking with dozens of current and former board members and scores of current and former volunteers. Most of these people have been unhappy with the station for some time, and I consider myself to speak for them. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I urge you to acquire a copy of MCPB's corporate documentation as the bylaws state should be given to any member who asks. I will warn you that the last member who did that had to wait six months and threaten to sue before he got an abridged copy (one that did not include the Programming Policy document). When you acquire and study the entire document, please compare what it says to the way the station is actually operating. If you find any similarities, let me know. In the meantime, please refrain from the implication that I do not know what I am talking about.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As to creating my own reality... It was easy to predict that I would lose Open Lines as soon as I disagreed with Mary about station policy. The pattern of ex-programmers includes Ells Cooperider, Annie Esposito, Chris Skyhawk, Debra Scott, Johanna Schultz, and Jeanine Pfifer (who did win her grievance and is back on the air) among others makes it pretty clear what happens to programmers who publicly advocate for more membership control of programming. It's called passive aggression. I didn't have to create that reality, it was already there.</div>
<div><br></div><div>All I have ever advocated is for people who disagree with John and Mary to be allowed to voice their opinion on the air. Should these people band together and vote for a board of directors that disagree with John and Mary, it is my belief that John and Mary should feel obligated to take their direction. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I believe the election process should determine station policy. If you disagree, please explain.</div><div><br></div><div>Doug<br><br>On Tuesday, February 25, 2014, <<a href="mailto:sako4@comcast.net">sako4@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<br>

<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">This email (below) has
ongoing cross-talk about Mendocino Public Radio, KZYX. More
important, it has detailed discussion</font> of John
Sacowicz/Sakowicz. Funny: Sako/Saco is constantly threatening
lawsuits but never files them. Why? Who'd take his case? Lawyers
hate flakes. Much about him is cloudy because he strives to keep it
that way, and his friends fall right in behind him, perpetuating
falsehoods, but enough is known and vouched for that he can be
readily called "a known quantity". So, suckers and potential
suckers, read what's at the ukiahcommunityblog below, and don't say
you haven't been warned. The man should not be a part of any
supposedly rational discussion of anything except the study of
psychopathy. (God, I'm tired of warning this county about this man.)<br>
