River ,'Ariel'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Group President said to The Boy, "Yeah, but -- what do YOU know about marketing? I mean, look at the way you dress!"
Seriously. What the fucking fuck? Not that every single thing he said isn't making me want to ass him in the ear, but this is possibly the @@est of all.
Clearly he has a burning urge to be a committee of one. You should stop standing in his way and give him what he wants.
The Boy reiterated that he thinks a clean, simple design is effective, and Group President said to The Boy, "Yeah, but -- what do YOU know about marketing? I mean, look at the way you dress!"
Are you fucking kidding me? Jesus, he’s lucky that nobody just bitchslapped him right then and there.
I've lasted the longest, because I am apparently a glutton for punishment.
wait, I thought that you . . oh, right.
Steph, resign. send a politely worded email that says that the communication issues and lack of respect for your professional expertise have reached a level where you feel that you cannot be an effective member of the team and you wish them luck in finding a replacement for you.

ITA. Your relationship with the group president is already so poisoned that even if you resolve this issue there will be more stress and trouble in the future.
I'm with the quitting crowd, Steph. It's pretty clear you can't change his mind or teach (even inform) him of anything.
But you can make sure everyone else gets a clear headsup, and one for the record. Fuck code. Be civil, be clear, and flip your hair in his direction on your way out of Committee-land.
I'll join in, Steph. It's time to cut your losses.

Perhaps flouncing would be appropriate.

Heh. Only *some* kinds of punishment.

Yeah, I'm thinking that this is my plan.
And make sure you cc all the committee members.

What she said! What a Fucktard, and Wenchface and all sorts of other Very bad things.
Steph - he sounds like he sucks more than Lee.
Hey NOW. Was that nice?
Tep, in your shoes I would be tempted to quit the committee and then offer your paid services to create the newsletter just like he wants it at an hourly rate that is at least (fair market rate)+(asshole surcharge) just to find out if it's the fact that you are volunteering that makes him see your work as unprofessional. Because I am an experimentalist and don't have to consider actual limits to your time in coming up with this scenario.
