Post subject:  Working to subvert democracy as early as December

Jack, who at the time was a member, explains his strategy for eliminating democratic function from the group, a violation of VFP's Statement of Purpose (SOP) which calls on members to be "Democratic and Open". This message below was sent in private and was not intended to become public. My respect for the VFP SOP compels me to report this deliberate documented subterfuge.

Gordon,
I see no advantage to expanding the group. We have the clear advantage for voting purposes and it appears that some or all the obstructionists are ready to throw in the towel. A group of 12-15 is about maximum for productivity, which is our purpose. Voting and Rob’t’s Rules should become a negligible concern with most or all of the Z4 gone. If one or two remain, they become useful for setting up opportunities to teach facts and counter-arguments to the bystanders
