lslaw.livejournal.com"He's not really the secretary; that wasn't a proper election."
That may have been the scariest thing I have ever heard. If I had any hopes left that becoming one of the Kings would leave a person unscathed, it left me then.
I was there; I saw the election. There was a proper show of hands and everything was at least as formal as any other election the CFSS has ever held. If there was any impropriety then I'm not aware of it. Matthew was elected as secretary of the CFSS and everyone seemed fine with that.
And then I pointed out that the Secretary approves - by which I mean, writes down - new memberships. I think that was when she changed her mind. Now, she's refuting the election and, I guess, claiming the post for herself.
I never expected to be this worried about one person being President and Secretary of the Society; it should not matter, but I can see what she's doing. It's a power play, part of their stupid game, and a good one. If she can gather enough control over the society, she has something over Diamonds. If she gets enough control then, in theory, she'll start exerting a mystical influence over all of us.
I need to find out when the next election is due and... I think either Emma or I need to stand for President; or we quit altogether. Otherwise, we might be stepping into her suit.
Anna says that you have to knowingly accept that; that you can't fall into it.
I wish I could be sure she was wrong, and not just lying.
