If that should happen, then AMA will be the worse for it, regardless of whether it's Mark Smith in the chair or anyone else
Sure it could be good for an organization for an official to fall,
the short version is when that official is pushing an agenda that would be harmful to the org it is good for him to fail. The difficulty is determining what is indeed bad for the org when there are oposing VIEWS/OPINIONS if something is bad for the org.
As for blind compliments of anyone that wins elections,
Hitler won an election, was it right for his opponants to jump on his bandwagon?
MarkS is not hitler, nor do I assume he is like hitler. Just a couple guys that won elections, yet might be bad for their org and should / should have falen on their face.
Stick-
I'd like to voice it like this:
I didnt like things MarkS did before the election.
I didnt like things MarkS did during the election.
I dont like things MarkS is forcasted to do post election.
Do I like MarkS? Dunno, never met the guy,
but we might have a lot in common outside the scope of AMA control.... we might hit it off chatting the important stuff like Bellcranks vs Torquerods. However, the very slight glimps of Mark as a person that was displayed with him repeatedly dodging the Conflict qusetions doesnt endear me to him as a First Impression.
