Sorry for posting on something unrelated to Moab, and I hope this doesn't make things worse... but if it is his board then he has a right to do pretty much whatever he wants, whether any of us like it much it or not. Everyone has the right to express themselves as they wish, but nobody necessarily has the right to be heard *here*. It's like work - a company has the right to fire you. They really shouldn't need to give you a good reason. It may be that the owner would rather hire some sexy girl to look at who may or may not be any good at the job. Doesn't matter. It's HIS company and HIS money to spend as HE wants to. You can't force anyone keep you on the payroll, regardless of whether it is fair or not, or who may be in the wrong.
