FILING GRIEVANCE WITH ABA
Jean:
This isn\'t the first time he has referred to people breeding \"lavender\" birds as nut jobs. I gave him a public outing in the Poultry Press (see our last bulletin) the last time and hoped he would stop and think before he spewed from the mouth next time.
Guest:
I\'m not a member of the ABA, and cetainly do not have any understanding of why the vice-president of the ABA and the president of the ABC are publicly arguenig over the term \"lavender\"................. along with the public outing of his opinion of those breeders preferring that term and use of the term \"nut cases\". I can\'t see how any of this is going to help the cause of the members of the ABC in their desire to have the color [whatever it\'s officially called] recognized. Please, if I\'m missing something, let me know.

Steve,
Maybe I can offer some background information on this. A while back a discussion was started on another forum about \"lavender\".

It received a lot of input and some folks couldn\'t give thier opinions without getting upset and into some name calling.
Since Matt is both a licensed judge and VP of the ABA, Jean filed the grievance due to his conduct that was aimed at her and other ABC members. Since it does involve other ABC members and they only have so many days to respond, if they wish to, she posted the details here. Jean is the ABC president, but the grievance was filed by her not on behalf of the club.
I hope that helps explain.

Exactly. Matt is the one that made his opinion public, not Jean. ;)
