<br>
I believe that controversy is not a bad thing, in fact it can be really healthy to question proposals from a board. That is why diversity is a good thing, not a bad thing and arguing or disagreeing can in the end make decisions clearer and stronger.<br>
<br>
So I guess the bottom line is that I think as a board we should continue to talk about solutions to the problem at hand.<br>
