I wouldn't sweat it. The things you mentioned - as listed above are the
same issues we have had with him in Rainbow.
He wants to be part of process and community but the only acceptable way
is his way, which isn't a very community process. Anyone who has
anything to say about it is part of the conspiracy.

I'm not sure what it will take for him to realize that even though - yes
he does get mixed up with some wingnuts (like Crazy Bill) there are some
valid points and folks have issues with his "my way or no way" way of
community. Any attempt to explain this to him (as happened over TG
council in 2004 or his Vision Council antics in 2005) has not given any
real progress.

I say let it go. He doesn't understand.

P.S. I'm writing this in part to tell you what I think and in part as
one more effort for Woodstock to try to understand what folks issue with
him is since I assume he will read this.
