[Kzyxtalk] Automated Radio

[Doug McKenty]

I cannot agree more Kelly. All due respect to Liz, Scott has posted a lot of facts here that are serious and deserve to be looked at objectively. Please do not kill the messenger.

One of the most interesting experiences of my life has been engaging in factual discourse with those who have taken control of KZYX and been constantly accused of "personal attacks," while never presented with opposing factual evidence. It is just a way of avoiding inconvenient truths. 

One more point, it is true that those of us who have trade the bylaws and policies of MCPB, as well as studied the last eight years of financial audits and read the BoD meeting minutes often get upset by what we discover, especially when our observations fall on deaf ears by those who haven't spent the time to familiarize themselves with this documentation. 

Please forgive us if we are frustrated, but watching MCPB slowly go bankrupt while refusing to follow policies designed to make it function for our community is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
