Jon, Jon,

First you characterize me as a "big Dave Brown" supporter. Then you claim he has been getting his way for the past 12 years.

David stated that Dave Brown does not get a vote because he is President.

I use the term reconsider and you want to change it to considered.

Now, here are the facts. I openly and actively campaigned for Frank Tiano for President two years ago.
Dave Brown has been AMA President since 1996.. That is closer to 7 years than 12.
Dave Brown does have a vote as AMA President, on the EC. It has been traditional for the President not to cast his vote. You might see an exception over this issue.
The fact is that if there is a emergency meeting the EC will reconsider their action.

Lastly, I have already made my displeasure with Dave Brown's action known to some on the EC and suggested they hold their ground.

If you lose your cool, how do you expect to prevail? The fact that I supported Frank Tiano has never stopped me from talking to Dave Brown. That would be somewhat childish and foolish if I wish for him to consider my opinon, don't you think?
