    In my view you have to show more than a disagreement. You have to spell out the misconduct or show some type of malfeasance. You have not done this.

    I have not followed this matter in detail but the call to remove the president did not provide any reason why. If a valid reason was given then it should be debated and yoted on by the voting members...
