M.V.Y.C. assessment?

Bruce:

I have no interest in your club. I've never been there and I don't plan to go anytime soon. However, as an independent observer, I have to say that you are way out of line. You would do much better if you tried to reason with the other club members. Just a thought from the quiet side of the lake.

I have to agree with Secondcurve.I have no opinion either way on MVYC.I do have friends that own slips there but I have never discussed any goings on there.If Batman is a board member,his tone in his posts is not how I would want to be represented if I was a member.Interesting how Batman scolds others about "hiding behind your screen names".I doubt very much his/her real name is Batman Forever.

Hmmmm, interesting debate, looks to me like the "board" at MVYC should publish minutes of their meetings since only 4 members can find the time or are so inclined to attend. Minutes would allow their whole membership or owners or whatever to be informed as to what is going on and would stop all the rumors that seem to revolve (at least in this forum) about the place. Effective communication usually stops rumors in their tracks.

*** I'm not a member or a user of this place, nor do I really care about it. Just sticking my two cents worth in since this is a public forum and thats what makes it entertaining reading.

Thank you “batman forever” for admitting that my posts have contained ACCURATE information. But, you still don’t have it right. You named THREE of US, not quite a “lumping together” IMO.

Your apology is clouded by inflammatory allegations. You claim that my opinion is designed to enrage the masses. I believe that your comments are designed to discredit me and agitate the situation. You can ruin my reputation and a forum thread with those tactics.

The thread was about a rumored assessment – the rumor was not accurate. The last 2 general membership meetings the Board discussed taking care of the retaining walls withOUT the need for any assessment. I was surprised to hear the rumor – but it was presented as a rumor, not the gospel. Then I pointed out what I believe to be an inequity in the MVYC annual fee and assessment structure. Did you read what I said?

It (the fee and assessment system) probably won’t ever change. How can you consider that enraging the masses? It seems that you batman are the one trying to enrage. I never suggested that this was brought up at past meetings or implied that we should make a change. Those were YOUR WORDS and ideas, not mine. I believe that it would be difficult if not impossible to change the annual MVYC flat fee structure. The fee system is no secret and perspective member/owners are free to join/buy or not. I am free to point out what I see as the inequities of the system.

I've been waiting for a response to jrc's question about MVYC slips, no one answered him. Where are all the MVYCers who want to see only accurate information? Other good points were made here about the MVYC policy and their Boards' sentiment about this forum. Those topics are different from the assessment rumor and I've heard some new rumors about MVYC which I'll save for a different thread.

batman forever, please open you mind as wide as you open the bat cave. Thank you.

Batman does not know the meaning of RUMOR. It means unsubstantiated information. Look it up in Websters. I never said it was fact. Just wanted to know if any other forum members/MVYC members heard the same dock talk that I did.

Maybe if the board used the MVYC web site and posted up to date information about replacing A wall as the situation unfolded, there never would have been a rumor. I think it is telling that now there are photos and an explanation about the A wall situation after the fact. Why wasn't this information posted as the situation was developing?

reviewing PROPELLERS post he/she never said they were an "expert". As a matter of fact he/she posted they were not an engineer and he/she was eyballing it.

You have some good points Taz. Batman is still an anonymous person. Maybe a director of that yacht club or maybe someone trying to make the directors look bad.

Has anyone answered jrc's question about the differences in slips over at Mountain View YC?
