Metaphorically-speaking, you are, at the very least,  one fantastic Lighting Director. You are a genius at re-positioning the center-stage spotlight making sure everyone's eyes focus on the essential truth and nothing is obscured in the shadows...

      <![CDATA[Those generalizations you say make you uncomfortable, Susie, are in fact, as Theatrelover mentions, classic personality types, and yes, much research and case studies exist to back that up. However, what should really make you uncomfortable is the way these people on the board have managed to manipulate and fabricate for their own gain while ousting a very competent Artistic Director without due process.

      <![CDATA[There indeed has been a character assassination campaign against Carol based on false information -- members of the board have lied in order to justify their own actions and they must know this in their hearts. It is truly despicable behavior from a volunteer board of directors of a community theater.

      <![CDATA[You may not like the middle Susie, but the reality is that there is a subset of people in this country who act and react in the same manner as this board has done, and I would stake much on the fact that, from having dealt with similar people and personalities over the years, what I have said is mostly accurate, And whether or not I know these people personally is not really relevant. Studies of human nature and personality will show that these types of people do these types of things and based on their behavior thus far, it almost is a case study on how to manipulate the truth for your own gain.

      <![CDATA[Yes, the Firehouse is more than one person, or several people—the Firehouse is an idea.<br>
 <br>
However, it is an idea created in part by the person the Board has hastily and unprofessionally dismissed; one that was carefully cultivated to flourish through the tireless and selfless work of dozens of talented individuals. <br>
<br>
The deliberate removal of Carol Piersol paints a clear picture that the original idea has been cast aside in an attempt to replace it with a completely different one, apparently one driven by egos.

      <![CDATA[Obviously this emeritus director is clueless when it comes to employment law regarding wrongful termination.<br>
<br>
No amount of high minded verbiage in defense of the board's actions will EVER justify its decision to terminate Carol without giving her the opportunity to correct any alleged infractions. <br>
<br>
Do the board members need to be reminded that Carol along with the co-founders created "this Richmond treasure" and whose efforts were a MAJOR factor in its success?

      <![CDATA[Patently ridiculous whitewash that misses the point entirely. This is no longer about Carol... it is about process....or in this case lack thereof.
