FILING GRIEVANCE WITH ABA
Jean:
I am taking this opportunity to inform the members of our Club that I will be filing a formal grievance with the ABA regarding an e-mail Matt Lhamon sent to an ABA member here in Washington. She had requested grievance information from the Secretary of the ABA, Karen Unrath.
Mr. Lhamon replied to the inquirer, saying that the Ameraucana Lavender breeders were \"nut jobs\". He assumed the person that was inquiring about the information was me. I for one am tired of the name calling. No Officer of any of the Clubs in our fancy should be resorting to such innappropriate conduct.
If you are a member of the ABA and find this insulting, I would suggest that you also file a grievance regarding this statement. I for one am tired of the bullying and the lack of respect.
Below is a copy of what was said by Mr. Lhamon. If you would like to have the original forwarded please contact me. The grievance must be postmarked by March 17, 2011 and sent to the Secretary of the ABA. I would also suggest using registered mail.

I am sure she is talking about me as I called her Lavander Americauna group a bunch of “nutjobs” which they are. Fire me , please!

He didn\'t even spell Ameraucana correctly.

My spelling isn\'t very good so I can understand misspelling \"lavender\", but as an ABA VP and licensed judge that owns a Standard he should have taken a moment to check the spelling of Ameraucana.
I was at TSC yesterday and they were selling \"Americauna\" chicks. Yes, it was the exact same spelling and I believe I\'ve seen one or more of the commercial hatcheries use the same spelling.
That bad news is there still are other judges and old time fanciers that agree with his opinion of many of us. :(
The good news is they are outnumbered! :D

I might have thought he was just being a smart-aleck using the EE misspelling if he hadn\'t misspelled lavender, too...
