Ivan:
I must agree with Dale Severance in that you are in error in calling
for a boycott of NPF.
As I read Dale's post, I believe he gave you a way to right the wrong
that you believe occurred to you. Dale said,
'If you were a man about it and were sincere in your
belief that your position was correct you would have long ago submitted the
claim to the small claims court for resolution. The cost to submit to small
claims court is nominal and I would put the fee up for you if you would get
off this topic.'.
I concur with Dale that small claims court action should have been initiated
long ago. You would likely have resolved the matter some time ago.
I don't understand why you call for a boycott of NPF when you state in your
post
'In any case, I do not believe in suing Parkinson's organizations. That
is totally out of my belief system. Why divide us up when unity is our
goal?'.
It truly sounds to me as if you aren't reasoning properly or just
want to create a position which will draw sympathy from outside your
immediate world but not necessarily resolve the problems as you see
them.
You say 'Dale, what I am saying by boycott is, that if enough people suspend
their financial support for the NPF, including you, the NPF
decision-makers would compensate me for the $2200 loss, and that would be
the end of the conflict.'.
If everyone suspended their contributions and volunteerism to NPF, they would
have to cease all activity....Research for a cure, payment to their staff,
funding of special activities, public literature, etc.
They wouldn't have the funds to pay you the $2200 you state as being owed to
you. However, if you were to file suit to reclaim the expenditures, NPF would
have to respond and would still be able to fund the 'fight for the Cure'
that all of us so desperately wish to be provided.
Please try to take this as a suggestion to resolve the problem you find
facing you.
Best wishes.....Jack
