You only get honesty with anonymity. This MEC seems to be on a search and destroy. Say the wrong thing and woops, sorry that NOI didn't work out for you.
Bravo to Spiritpilotboard.com, Ill be happy to pay too. Im surprised the last board never asked for money. No advertising. It was someone's out of pocket.

Anonymity is a self-fulfilling prophesy.
A conspiracy theorist feels the MEC is after him, so needs anonymity. Once anonymous, they speak about the need to hide from the MEC and spread vitriol without consequence, fulfilling the need to now remain anonymous, lest their comments be attributed to them.
Anonymity allows the truth to come out, but these nuggets of truth are found within a soup of vitriol, making it difficult to glean fantasy from reality.

What a dirty trick Tony! You are still the Chair till you resign right?

Remember, the Interim Captain Rep will have a vote in the National President's election. So the Interim Rep does matter.
Hey newbies, starting to get it now?

This is how it always happens and will be this way for the next election. Surprise!
