Make your little jokes all you want, but Larry Sheperd is not a victim here, despite the disinformation campaign being put on by his cheerleaders and new employer, Harlan J. Berk. I dare say that the decision by the ANA Board is a decision that would have been made by nearly all of you who are employers yourselves. |

Reveal whatever you may know so that everyone can share in the information, if indeed you know anything. If not, just say that as well and we'll know you're only expressing your own opinions like the rest of us. Remember the legal presumption of innocence? Larry need not defend himself against non-publicized charges under the umbrella of "confidential HR information," or however it is being phrased. He has the presumption as innocent until proven guilty, IMHO. if the U.S. Constitution still applies, even to the ANA Board of Governors |

So our name will be ANAL, which works out just fine. -- I'm never going to grow up. The problem is that this statement does not say anything of substance. It did say that Shepherd hired legal counsel who suggested that Shepherd was defamed. In response to that, the Board said that they made "an effort to avoid a rancorous, public discussion on personnel matters which are normally best left private." If so, then why issue a statement? The statement says that the Board "ended" their employment relationship with Shepherd yet seems to be concerned that Harlan Berk's statement said Shepherd was fired. However, a person does not have to be a rocket scientist to know that after it was announced Shepherd was put on leave during an investigation and then his employment was "ended" to put the two events together to guess he was fired. In fact, my post on that day was "ANA Fires Shepherd." Again, this statement does not say anything of substance. But it appears that the Board feels they have to defend themselves. If the Board did not do anything wrong, what are they defending? Then to have Cliff Mishler, past president and current governor, make a statement, it makes them appear like they are trying to hide something. What are the ANA Board of Governors hiding? The ANA released their statement, Harlan Berk had his say, then Shepherd responded. Everyone vented and that should be enough. Why did the Board of Directors have to respond? What are they hiding? The Board's statement concludes: It is most unfortunate that Mr. Shepherd has resorted to a public discussion that the ANA cannot comment upon, instead of moving forward in a dignified manner. We are deeply saddened by his decision. Rather than dwell on past mistakes, the ANA will move forward and fulfill its educational mission to serve the best interests of the entire numismatic community. If you do not want to "dwell on past mistakes," then just SHUT UP! |

"Some Guy" wrote in message ... LS is not on trial by the government, he got canned from his job with the ANA for reason or reasons unknown. If he had an employment contract, he has recourse to the civil courts. When Shepherd says that he offered to take a lie detector test regarding the charges then I am suspicious over the condition of this action. Questioning the Board of an organization I pay dues to is not only my right but an obligation. Just because they are the Board with allegedly confidential information does not mean I have to agree with their action nor does it mean I have to sit idly by when I feel the Board was wrong based on public evidence. Given the recent history of the ANA Board of Governors and executive directors, questioning their action on my soapbox is the least I can do! |
