David vs. Goliath, round 2
So, upon my suggestion, the EXCO has said it will take me to court. Part of me is relieved: there, justice will be done and the right shall prevail. Part of me is appalled: just what have I brought upon my organisation?
But even though the sum they demand from me is inconsequential (what need have I for money?), I cannot give in to their demands without a fight, for there is a word for such a thing, such a demand.
Extortion.
Enough. This playground squabble stops here. Though this is the toughest struggle I’ve had yet, I pray for strength, patience, and yes, even compassion. Though I don’t take this personally, and bear them no ill-will, the EXCO seems more than happy to hate my guts. What is the right thing to do? It is a very delicate balance, a very fine line I have to walk.
