I for one would rather have some one in the EVP position that will step on some toes and ruffle some feathers and truly has the good of the hobby as a whole in mind, than some one that will walk the party line to benefit a pet project.
Ruffling some feathers and stepping on some toes is not a problem.
Seeing everyone who questions or disagrees with you as the enemy IS a problem.
Being unable to respond to someone who challenges your position or comments without childish personal attacks IS a problem.
Having an ax to grind that will dominate working relationships IS a problem.
Based on his comments here, I'm aware that Horrace has been involved with several different organizations. The Air Force, United Airlines, AMA and Jetero RC club. If I had a dollar for everytime Horrace has gone out of his way to trash the leaders of all of those organizations I'd have enough for several nice nights out of the town with my wife. It seems to me that Horrace has an issue with leadership no matter where he is involved. I'm convinced that he will, at best, be ineffective on the EC, and at worst a disruptive influence that will make it difficult for the EC to function responsibly as a whole.
I don't believe he can work well with anyone who questions or disagrees with him. It's either his way or the highway, or a childish personal attack. He's demonstrated in spades, and not only on this board.
