I was just trying to understand if there was some line not to step
over and what might happen if one did and if one could ever back
up over that line and become OK again and why and when.
The short answer is "the board can do whatever they want". You don't even get a vote, this time, since getting 10% of the membership to mail in paper objection in time, using the post office, was never possible.
The longer answer:
