Terminate that person’s membership and vacate their seat. One jackass can’t be allowed to ruin the c3.
Don't see where his behavior rises to that level. He pushed buttons enough last week that almost took a 40+ year member over the brink. It is actually diabolical. He has been playing chess all these years and members were playing checkers.Getting members to rise to the bait. And I did that in grand style this weekend. I caught him in lies. Even so they never reflect on their behavior. Conflict is his goal and addiction. I had never figured out motive, because the conflict itself is the motive. I has taken me a while figure it out. For rational people these types of behavior do not compute.
He stays in bounds. I assume he has been playing this game a while. From what I have read there may have trauma to this guy at some point early. Starts as a defense mechanism and evolves to conflict addiction. My first reaction was to bore into him. Which I did Sat. in front of several folks. He interacted some. I caught him lying and then shuts down. They never reflect on their past behavior. He is not without qualities. He says he shoots at the club less because of people talking behind his back. Stirring up people will do that.
Best thing to do, is to find a legitimate reason to shit-can him and get him gone. This member sounds like toxicity that your club doesn't need and will only further cause trouble if not addressed sooner rather than later.
No. We pay a lady to run the desk and one to cook. We pay for the grass to be cut. We have 450 acres. Some CREP and some farm rent as income. We unload the targets and load the trap houses ourselves. Currently dues are $120. $100 for seniors.
You need to learn to interpreting the rules as for the benefit of the club, rather than the members.
Our bylaws say "any act or deed which shall be considered detrimental to the welfare and prestige of xxxx, or for any of the following reasons; harassment, unsportsmanlike conduct, use of profanity while on club property, theft or destruction of club property, persistent or willful violation of gun safety rules, threatening or inflicting harm on another individual while on club property, operating a profit seeking business without board approval on club property, abuse of alcohol or illicit drugs on club property." Nothing separate for board members other than missing 3 board and/or membership meeting in a row without a valid reason approved by the presiding officer.
This one line should be enough to get the job done if you wanted to pursue the issue to the point of getting him removed.
It would be a stretch. It would kind of like getting rid of Biden for not protecting the border. A large part of the club sees it my way another sees it his. Him pushing buttons over and over again would not rise to that level.
