It seems you live in a world where stewards go off on their own and interpret the contract in their own dream world. I guess many of your membership worship him as a hero. And I guess had he not been caught with his pants down and shown to be a fool, he might have been a hero.
Around here we have a saying. And it fits his hearing to a T.
NEVER bring a knife to a gunfight. Heck, he didnt even bring his knife, he brought his brass knuckles.
I have never ever seen someone so unprepared to defend himself.
So stick up for your friend. But it really makes me wonder how a friend such as you could let him rush off and fall on his sword.
As for me being gone along time, two, well almost three years now is a life time for some people.
But things dont change all that much. Yeah, the faces do, and the terminology.
But it seems to me that a fool is a fool yesterday, today and tomorrow. And the friend of a fool that wont help prevent serious damage is a fool as well.
Best
