NMFC Board Elections

De Rauch supported Paul Crapper in a previous run at the board back in 07.

If he's supporting him again, as it looks like, well it changes a great deal.

I know Peter and his son from years ago.

Seeing the article in the Herald Sun yesterday was the first I knew of any such mention. In fact I’m away on business and picked up its existence from you guys referencing it on this site.

From my reading of the article clearly there is interest in an independent members advocate running for the Board, whether that independent is successful or not.

Can I just mention that I think JLG’s excellent grilling of Mr Crapper has been very beneficial for a lot of people on here, especially Paul Crapper himself. Personally, I may not vote for him. However, if he does win I would be very OK with that - based on his responses here. Overall, I believe he merits being on the board at some stage.

Yep, I'm voting for Dr Hood but if they wanted to expand the number of board positions by 1, I'd happily endorse all 4 nominees.

The sequel to that - if Monsieur Crapper ever did make it onto the board and if he went on to sell the members up the river after all of his "members' advocate" campaigning, then you can be damn sure that JLG's grilling would feel like a Tender Touch tickle compared with what he would have coming to him.

Have you and Peter discussed your run for this board?

The fact that he's supported you previously for board elections, and now comes out in the media supporting you would lead the reasonable reader to infer he's supporting you again.

And that you are not an independent, but rather a Peter De Rauch aligned candidate.

That's fine by me, PdR has done plenty for the club - but you've been less than forthcoming on many issues here, so I reckon your claims about being independent are questionable.

There's no shame in saying you're aligned with a major club benecfator like PdR.

Mate, if he does make it onto the board and there's the slightest hint of a governance issue at the club and any journo puts his name into Google, we're all getting bent over the Tender Touch massage table ffs.

And that you are not as independent.

I saw Peter at the NMFC Season Launch last Thursday and indicated he supported me running.

These very bureaucratic and lawyerly answers really don't do you any favours Paul.

So yes, you're aligned with Peter De Rauch.

OK, now we have finally got somewhere.

Can I ask why you haven't been upfront about this stuff from the get go?

Having the support - long standing support, he's publicly backed you for the board before - of Peter would be a good thing I would have thought.

 

[Del191229]

PM me and I'll run your campaign next time, I'll get you on the board.

My rates are very competitive.

Go get some fresh air SLF.

What does it change?

Honest question here - I know of de Rauch's name but not much else*. Understand he was involved at some point in the past but the fact he is supporting Crapper doesn't appear to be any different to Euge coming out in support of Sonja Hood.

Is the inference that Crapper will be a puppet? That he is a stalking horse for de Rauch and this will lead to division on the board?

And would de Rauch supporting him change anyone else's vote anyway?

Otherwise you seem to be throwing mud rather indiscriminately, hoping some of it sticks. And that's fine, you're entitled to do that, but I just don't understand the obsession, other than to attempt to sway the votes of the half dozen people in here who aren't voting for Sonja.




*Partly being on the other side of the country, partly being oblivious to the inner workings of the club and partly not knowing as much of the history as I perhaps should.

LOL, you're so transparent mate.

How can we believe anything you write when you lied about something as silly as saying you made a typo when you posted R?

I literally can not believe a thing you write or say after that. A person is only as good as their word.

 

[Del191229]

What does it change?

Paul advertised himself as being an independent member from the rank and file.

He didn't disclose he's actually the candidate of a long term powerbroker.

That's what changes.

[/QUOTE]

He was rude to me and big noted himself about having "media skills". That's my area. So I'm testing his media skills.

 

[King Corey]

LOL, you're so transparent mate.

I wish I was important or passionate enough to qualify as transparent on any political topic.

Seriously, this thread is your form of intellectual pornography.

Switch off whatever device you're on, go outside, buy an ice cream and take a stroll. It's a pleasant day.

Talk to an old person. Throw some bread for the sea gulls or strike up a conversation with someone you find attractive.

Channel your energy somewhere else and come back refreshed.

Dude, you moderate the bloody board, if anyone needs a break from here it is you.

Oh lah di dah.

Oh lah di dah.

Truth be known I know I won't get in. Just wanted to choose somewhere they'll recognise you.

And call the cops on me, I see your plan.

Pistols or sabers?

Last time King Corey tried to duel someone from here it was after a falling out with TT, but when KC arrived he found out the fight was to be with pork swords, so he withdrew.

 

[Del191229]

Which is why TT is the big boss mod here, and KC a lower level janitor type.
