In the mean time, we are looking forward and looking up. Change is in the air.

American Atheists asks that this statement be accepted without calls for further explanation.

Sorry, no can do.

Why was there a post saying that Ellen left ‘for personal reasons’ and now there is a post saying that she was ‘involuntarily removed’?

Those two statements strike me as mutually exclusive.

Be assured that the action taken was in the best interests of the organization and of its membership.

I find it a bit hard to feel “assured” when the person doing the assuring previously posted that Ellen left for personal reasons… still, out of respect for Ellen, I’ll refrain from asking any more questions.

Out of deep respect for Ellen Johnson?s many services to American Atheists, in deference to her privacy, and with the desire that her Presidency be remembered favorably by history, American Atheists asks that this statement be accepted without calls for further explanation.

Be assured that the action taken was in the best interests of the organization and of its membership.

So we should accept your word on faith?

That doesn’t seem very atheistic to me…

By a majority vote of the Board of Directors of American Atheists, Inc, and by a unanimous vote of the Board of Directors of two of the other four corporations, Ellen Johnson was involuntarily removed from the office of President of American Atheists, Inc. and from the office of President of the other four corporations.

My first guess would have been a power grab because of the “majority” vote within AA. However, with the other two voting “unanimously” for her removal, it makes me wonder if there wasn’t something much more serious which occurred…

But the dues paying members will never know. Instead the powers at be would rather have their troops speculate instead of knowing the truth…
