I'll join in, Steph. It's time to cut your losses.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Be civil, be clear, and flip your hair in his direction on your way out of Committee-land.
Perhaps flouncing would be appropriate.

I've lasted the longest, because I am apparently a glutton for punishment.
wait, I thought that you . . oh, right.
Heh. Only *some* kinds of punishment.
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.
Yeah, I'm thinking that this is my plan.

Are you fucking kidding me? Jesus, he’s lucky that nobody just bitchslapped him right then and there.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

perhaps not offer, but mention in your farewell email that they may want to budget $____ for the newsletter, which is the market rate/what you would have charged for the service.

Oh, that's *outstanding*! I will.
What will happen, of course, is that someone with no skillz will take it over, and do it in Word, and it'll look like crap (and not the "contemporary" crap that I dislike, either -- just flat-out crap), and, well, I'll laugh.
