Why won't they just shut the hell up?  Don't we have mugshots on either one of them?

Anyway, Traitors Kraus and Hadrian are whining in WW comments.  Again:

A member of community radio station KBOO FM’s board of directors says he was kicked off the board July 15 after talking to the media about the station’s recent financial and union troubles (“KBOO Coup,” WW, July 10, 2013). KBOO board president S.W. Conser confirms the board removed Hadrian Micciche; the minutes say Micciche was removed because of a June 20 email he sent to several media outlets (including WW) accusing three board members of wrongdoing. Micciche says a copy of WW’s recent story, which quoted him, was open and on the table when he walked into the meeting. “They were saying I was disloyal to KBOO by blowing the whistle,” Micciche says. “I mentioned whistle-blowing and somebody said, ‘It’s not whistle-blowing unless somebody did something wrong.’” In another update, Conser says that KBOO executive director Lynn Fitch remains in her position. Fitch tells WW she is on leave after the death of her partner. 

Uh.  Awkward moment.   Guess we kinda looks like um dicks.  Hmmm.   (Don't make eye contact!)

UPDATE:  EVIL FITCH sets record straight in comments:

Sorry, I declined to speak to Sara / WW for any type of follow-up to their prior story. I am on authorized medical leave from my position at KBOO for a month per my doctor's orders - not due to the death of a loved one.

Well, that's a relief. We can go back to being dicks to her face again.

Moving on to the treacherous comments by traitors:

I understand and appreciate WWeek's being cautious what it prints regarding the KBOO Coup. Although minutes of the board meetings on July 15 and July 29 have not been approved and released, audio tapes are widely distributed by now on various KBOO related blogs. During these meetings Lynn Fitch was told to spend none of her time doing any management at all, essentially keeping her title and salary but stripping her of any authority to manage the station. She was even told to leave the July 29th meeting and not participate at all. It will be interesting to see how much of the truth filters it's way into the official minutes when they finally are approved and released.  I've publicly objected to recent developments at the KBOO website www.kboo.fm/content/thesadstat... .

Yeah, yeah.  Moving on, Hadrian has his say:

Re: The KBOO Coup and my removal from the Board.

The KBOO Board had been notified in advance of this meeting that I planned to resign from the Board when and if they acted to:

1. Set aside the Board policies then supposedly in place.
2. Remove the Executive Director from her role as such, in any fashion.

These two items were on the agenda for that meeting and the Board did indeed do these things. That would have triggered my resignation, had the Board not needlessly removed me as their first order of business.

The Board insisted on engaging in a farcical 90 minute effort, trying to discredit this critic by cynically invoking policies the Board themselves did not support. At a previous Board meeting, and again at the meeting where I was removed, the KBOO Board took a formal vote in which they refused to affirm the Board policies they then cited to remove me. After my removal, the Board then put these policies into abeyance. In other words, the Board declared that they would not be guided by these Board policies, but never-the-less acted to use them to silence a critic. Ironically, my removal from the Board resulted in more unwanted press.

Did KBOO Board member Lisa Loving request help to hack a web site critical of the KBOO coup? The evidence of that is still up on her Facebook page.

Did KBOO Board President S.W. Conser needlessly obtain confidential personnel records from KBOO's law firm without prior authorization, in violation of client-attorney privilege? Indeed he did.

And they say my alerting the press about these matters is not whistle-blowing. It's not whistle-blowing, I was told, unless someone did something wrong...

Well of course the Inner Party didn't do anything wrong!   Because anything the Inner Party does for the GLORIOUS PEOPLE'S RADIO WORKER'S PARADISE is perfectly acceptable.  Hacking blogs with EVIL LIES and mismanaging funds are just the usual  cracked eggs  for mixing a revolutionary omelet.

Geez, comrade.  GET A CLUE.  This is why we voted you off the sinking, lava overrun island!    You were always whining about something!  Like how our huts should be as far from the volcano as possible.  The People will build their huts where ever they like, thank you!

Next up on KBOO Survivor:  Who will get booted from the Island next?  Stay tuned!
