Serious question - are you high, or have you told so many lies you just can't keep them straight anymore?
Regarding items 2) thru 8) please provide evidence of these supposed acts, because they never happened. As far as 1) - I don't believe we've ever discussed it, but I was one of the original Ingress beta testers, which is far superior to Pokemon Go in every sense. Resistance forever, ADA Refractors for all. IE, Prove it.
Since you're so fond of links, I'll post a few of my own:

You've been at this game of gaslighting so long I think you've forgotten what your goal even is, other than to spew hatred everywhere you turn against whatever flavor of the week has wronged you. Here's a few more facts: You stole the old amsat facebook group from this organization by taking advantage of the fact it wasn't set up correctly in facebook. You stole non-profit issued slack license keys to this organization and repurposed them for your new flavor of the week. You have defamed good people who simply wanted to keep amateur radio in space. And now you've accused an organization, who is literally responsible for the segment of the hobby we're a part of, of wrongdoing *AFTER* reading a letter signed by literally every single member of the leadership and elected board before you bought the election in 2019 using funds channeled to you by outside parties.
You are nothing but an anomaly, a note in the history books of AMSAT for our sons and daughters to laugh at while they're holding their arrows from mountain tops working the next round of golf birds. You've lost. Go Home. It's over. Resign, and leave this hobby to people who care about keeping amateur radio in space.

I'm not sure anyone is going to take you very seriously, since you have repeatedly and stridently yelped for my resignation, since the day I was elected, for:
- Playing Pokemon GO (somehow that's a firing offense... "GO figure")
- Having a pile of books fall over on my desk (somehow I can't serve as a
Director because I tweeted about having too many books) 3) Pointing out (privately) that sexist language doesn't belong in AMSAT management. 4) Pointing out (privately) that official social media accounts weren't doing what they promised to do. 5) Being at Comic-Con. 6) Promoting microwave broadband digital birds. 7) Having the nerve to found a 501(c)(3) dedicated to open source R&D for amateur radio and beyond. 8) Breathing.
Please notice that I have yet to squall for anyone's resignation. I am ready and willing to work with anyone. I am ready to defend Clayton despite the authorship of this very regrettable admission of AMSAT failing to follow its own bylaws or DC corporate code. I actually liked working with him. He has permission to share any private messages I've sent him.
I do appreciate the opportunity you have given me to share my report.

This is the 8th in a series. I ran on transparency, trust, and technology.
I'm an activist.
If you elect an activist, expect activism. Some of what I found is obviously uncomfortable. The incumbents have reacted in entirely predictable ways. If the members want comfortable waste firmly ensconced in the past, then go ahead, re-elect the incumbents.
I've raised real money for AMSAT R&D this year. It adds up to over $65k. Open Research Institute is an AMSAT Member Society. That means that it's recognized as an asset to AMSAT, works for AMSAT's interests, and attacking it is just plain stupid.
I've confronted the board about unauthorized spending. I brought receipts.
Patrick deserves the majority of the credit for stopping this obscenely wasteful practice of hiring lawyers on the sly.
Fiducial responsibility is really all we as Directors are required to do. This is basic oversight of an organization. Unlike other things we do, it's not rocket science.

Director Thompson and Director Stoddard should immediately resign their positions. Their actions are unbecoming of this organization, the community, and a stain on ham radio.

Or is it a couple newbies to the board didn't get what they wanted when they wanted it and then decided to make a big fuss over it? and AMSAT decided maybe some legal guidance was in order? which IMHO probably wasn't a bad idea.
I have confidence in the board and that with time this will all be worked out.

The email, "AMSAT Leadership Explains 2018-2020 Legal Expenses,"
which I
assume all members received, made me think of the words of an oldie song that has the words, "I wish that i could be the president, so I could
show
you how your money's spent." In this case, it appears that the money was spent to, at the advice of hired layers, keep two duly elected directors from assuming their rightful role. So, the legal answer must have been
to
segregate them, into a second class status. Is this really legal, and in keeping with the bylaws of AMSAT? Why would the board do this? What are they hiding and from whom? I may be just a dumb, retired, Midwestern engineer, but even I can see thru this one. Talk about smoke and
mirrors.
I am going to assume that it was legal for the board to select a new
president, and that the membership has nothing to do with that. This
whole
situation has the appearance of a game where people have been trying to find a way to legally block other people from assuming their duties.
Sounds
like Washington politics to me.
Some members have resigned their membership over this. I am here to
say
that I do not condone this form of reaction. In my humble opinion, (and some of you know how humble I am) if you are on the birds, you should financially support the organization. Exception would be if one couldn't afford it, of course.
