> Put down the crack pipe, and step away from the keyboard.
Mind your manners.
> You are on a conservative forum.
I am well aware that I am on a Conservative forum. Conservatives AND Boy Scouts — more than most people — should be concerned with Due Process, particularly when it is denied. If we don’t then we earn the “reactionary and “lynch mob” labels that often gets thrown at us.
> Your assertion that a private organization must delegate whatever procedures it operates by to the government is incompatible with the right to assemble.
I didn’t make that assertion so don’t put words into my mouth. Observing Natural Justice and Fair Play is not a “delegation to the government”. But it *is* a sensible governance principle for volunteer organizations.
Every volunteer organization — especially reputable ones like the Boy Scouts — have an obligation to their Volunteers to treat them fairly. Volunteers are, by far and away, their most valuable assets.
If they do not, they will quickly find that their Volunters leave, and their other valuable assets — their donations, their reputation — rapidly evaporates.
> While only the government can deprive the man of liberty, the Scouts have a responsibility to keep the safety and security of the children in their care paramount.
The safety of children not preclude the fair treatment of Volunteers. An administrative leave pending the outcome of trial would be both appropriate and adequate to ensure both.
> The wishes and comforts of the adult staff are and should be secondary.
They come 1 and 2 in a very close race: children first volunteers second. No volunteers, no programs, no Boy Scouts.
You don’t kill yourself because you are innocent.
Bull crap.
You LieHard are flat out a liar.
On what evidence do you assert that the boyscouts did not follow a process before banning our little self eliminator?
This was you Nothing like Due Process ay You personally infer the Boyscouts made no investigation. If you can produce no evidence that the boyscouts made no internal investigation then yes, you are making an unfounded allegation and therefore... full of crap - and a hypocrit as well.
Period.
