Just because you don't understand my specific situation doesn't mean I'm wrong. They WERE taking things in a different direction and they had no one to head that new direction. In walks Willravel, and out walks no one. I took over for no one. Other board members came up with the idea, but none of them were ever responsible for it.
I think as a general rule, people should always be sure before they come right out and say "you're wrong" to me. Or to anyone. It comes off as very condescending—whether you intended it that way or not—, and if the person you're speaking to isn't wrong, then you look even worse for being so sure.

You <i>are</i> wrong.. technically.. in the business sense. Even if they were taking things in a different direction, someone else could easily have filled the same position whether it be by volunteering or applying. Nobody else wanted the job?They chose you. Just because someone didn't walk out didn't mean it didn't take away from someone else, or that you're so special a position made for you didn't have responsibilities that are/were attached to another job or person. How are board members not responsible for decisions and positions they create which affects their money??
All I know is I hope I never have to work with your company if basic procedures can't even be comprehended.
