CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTION

Whatever happened to conscientious objection? Everyone in this (except me, who is subject to the outrageous $7,000.00 demand) is in control of his or her own destiny, and each of us will have to accept whatever comes our way as a result of this tragedy. Why would not one or more of the present HOA Board members tender a resignation over this matter, and if they do so, which members among us would be foolish enough to replace them on the HOA Board in pursuing these claims? Does saving face really mean that much to any of us? How much cost is too much, and what was the point in the HOA Board making me a settlement offer it had to know I could not possibly accept?. While I do not relish calling a special meeting pursuant to the Georgia Non-Profit Business Corporations Code and the articles and bylaws of the HOA in an attempt to ouster the current members of the HOA Board, what else am I supposed to do, especially since that is the most cost-effective solution at this point and the cash registers are clanging on both sides?

It would be a good idea for all involved to be duly apprised of their legal rights and potential liabilities by counsel of their choosing after they explain the entire situation, and that is not intended as a threat, but as a suggestion. I would look particularly long and hard at the non-profit corporate code and the standards and duties applicable to officers and directors under the law, the association's articles and bylaws, and the recorded declaration and amendments, and I would also familiarize myself with Georgia law on abusive litigation.

Understand clearly that if I prevail in this Action, the cost of buying one's way out of a judgment in my favor will be a minimum of the same $7,000.00 the HOA Board saw fit to offer to me on December 30, 2005. Also understand that I am just getting warmed up.
