Derogatory comment made by Board member

I have been a proactive home owner in our community addressing many violation issues that have gone un addressed for many years. Just today the President of our community sent out an email to the management company and board members, not realizing that my email was part of the group, and his very words were "he's a dick." Are not the board member held accountable by some Florida Statute?

JoseV, Florida statutes and case law do not prohibit rudeness, crassness, vulgarity et cetera directed at an individual such as what you have unfortunately just experienced.

For what it's worth, such unprofessional conduct by the often ego-driven volunteers that end up on HOA boards is pretty common. A 'herd mentality' often develops on boards (or in any social milieu), where a majority enjoys harassing a minority director or perhaps a non-director HOA member. It makes them feel big. One can develop a thick skin. Or to me, when a board has such ignorant people like your President (elected by the other directors) serving on it, the better alternative may be to not serve on the board.

Nope. Uncouth and unprofessional language is not against the law. I would argue that's a good thing. Use it as ammunition when you run against the guy for the board seat.

Just a little advice from Iowa nice.
1. Do not engage in back and forth insults with this person.
2. Let it go.
3. If you are being one, stop.
4. Choose your battles and don't nit pick.

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. We are hoping on replacing all board members this coming election year.

Thanks for your advise. I will.

Welcome to living in a HOA... The nicknames included "Dictator, *itch, know-it-all, Hitler, and Turkey"... Those were the names to my face... LOL!
