Rick Masters' new venture has:
"No direct personal attacks but polite criticism of functionaries, groups and policies is fair game."

If the attack is true, it's fair game in my book.

Besides it being the truth, this headline is actually a challenge for Mark G. Forbes, to enter the discussion in his own defense.
I'm calling you out Mark. You just recently made a post that proved a lie, and a crime, you committed years ago.
How many views will this thread get before you are forced to defend your 'honor and good name,'or, everyone reading this thread will come to the
same conclusion that you ARE a lying hypocrite, case closed?

To be fair, I'll give you a little time for an initial response in this issue.
The clock's a ticking,
Come take your licking

You bring your best,
I'll take a rest

Thirty post views in one day. Not exactly like $12K in one day toward a LightSport aircraft to train hang glider pilots.
Not sure how that is going to work but good for the hg community in pitching in.
I see that Mark Forbes, was the big man on the field, for a while, with a cool thousand dollar contribution coming on the heels of the largest swindle/scam ever in the history of hang gliding, as we know it. Probably feeling pretty smug that such a brazen coup could be pulled off in this day and age of instant information at our fingertips. Theft of an organization (Corporation) in broad daylight.
I'm sitting at a location on Jesse James Road right now, a few miles from the James Family farm, and I'm wondering if Jesse might be rolling in his grave about now. Banks and trains were his thing. First daylight bank robbery, I believe is the claim.
North-east corner of the Square in Liberty. The bank is still there as a museum.
Never been in it but pay property taxes at the Courthouse across the street once a year.

Now it's lawyers and pencil pushing scoundrels that rob the banks and corporations.
Tim Herr and Mark G. Forbes, have just pulled off a heist that would make Frank and Jesse James blush in embarrassment.

Tiki and Bart contributed heavily to the RRG bailout. They both spoke out in opposition of the BOD reform.

Maybe, I'm guessing here again, maybe MGF got a note from Tiki.

After the RRG got their money, then came up with the BOD reform, like stabbing them in the back.

Again, the only place to get ins. to run their business, u$hPa.

Bart was the best. I really hate to see him go.

I hear there were other reasons why he went back home but I think he felt betrayed and gave up.

Wishing the best for Tiki and CUHG and the positive input they bring to HG flying in Texas.

Mark Forbes couldn't even win re-election in his own region, but the Board continued him as a Director at Large. Now he'll be running them all out.

I try to laugh but this is too true.
Mark Forbes doesn't care about fatalities as long as it doesn't cost the corporation any money.
He's said as much, more than once.
He's got the soul of a nasty lizard.

Who is surprised that he has chosen not to reply yet?
What is going to be the view count when he does?
104 and counting.
Who thinks he doesn't know about this thread?
I think Blindrodie has surely tipped him off by now.
They are quite tight. Ain't that right, Rupert ?

The thing with liars, they forget their previous lies.
Mark Forbes doesn't remember the lie he told years ago because it was filed away in his mind as just a lie to me.
But in fact, he was lying to everyone, and he committed a crime to the FAA.
That makes him a here-to-fore un-prosecuted criminal.
The lie he proffered to me compounds the crime. A crime and the cover-up that continues to the day he fesses up.

Mark G. Forbes!
Come out with your hands up!
You are surrounded and you can not escape!

Come learn your lesson. You shouldn't be messin
Around with lies, the people cry
What you did, you lied and hid
And someone could have died

Bob, and the Board.
Two days ago there was a slight discussion about subpoena power for the Hawks.
This thread is a member's version of what I see as a pilot to pilot subpoena. First notice.
His name in the subject line is the subpoena. Mark Forbes, isn't compelled by law to respond.
I never figured he would, voluntarily.
If he doesn't respond it can be deduced that it's because he's either guilty or a coward.
That can be determined by this body, the Hawks.

The Hawks can issue their own subpoena. More threads in Mark G. Forbes name.
Indictments can be produced and a trial can be conducted in absentia if Mark refuses to reply.

Every time a thread is bumped it is another notice for Mark G. Forbes, to attend this matter.
The headline of this P to P subpoena may be too harsh for such a sensitive snowflake as Mark.
I'm sorry if his feelings are hurt but I wanted to make it effective.
How long can he ignore it and still have any self respect?
Only 135 views so far.

Mark Forbes gets his power because the rest of the Board is either too lazy or too uninterested in doing the jobs he does: insurance, elections, treasurer. Hang gliding and paragliding Directors are mostly interested in flying and not bean counting. Because Forbes is willing to do those things (and the rest are not), he gets what he wants. That's why the Board made him a "Director at Large" as soon as he was voted out of office as a Regional Director. None of them wanted to step up to do what he does. That's why the new smaller Board still has 2 unelected slots so he's immune to the voters.

That's one of the reasons Forbes was so desperate to get rid of me. I took my job as Director seriously. I was willing to do things like dig into the documents and to write voting system software for our Board meetings. If there'd been any misappropriation of funds going on, I was the most likely Director to find it. I asked about the books, and I asked to attend the monthly "Executive Committee" teleconferences when most other Directors couldn't be bothered. That's why Forbes was so willing to "help out" with the 2010 recall election against me, and it's why he led the charge during my expulsion hearing. Forbes controls the Board because they're all too lazy to do what he does. I wasn't. Even though I think the new reorganization is terrible, it's hard for me to have much sympathy for all those lazy Directors who gave power to Forbes because they didn't want to do any difficult work themselves.
