Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Chris V.):

all redweek.com TMC owners,

to date, regarding TMC, (going back to 2014 and before) we have gone through myriad legal suggestions, ideas, and the actual processes of litigation, all in good faith. the outcomes of these actions appear to be unsatisfactory to most of us.

we have been criticized here for voicing our opinions, often leaving us with a "why-bother-to-comment-here-anymore" attitude. this is an understandably uncomfortable position for many, even prompting some well-meaning TMC owners to stop commenting altogether. please don't stop! if you're still reading these comments, your input is needed and essential, regardless of how trite it may appear to you. your comments can be seen by others who can take it and make it explode into a constructive idea.

the issues we currently have with TMC/bluegreen are indeed personal, affecting each of us directly and personally. that's an obvious given. who else but bluegreen has taken over management as of now? if you know of another group, entity or party (ies) that has been considered to manage TMC, please share this information with the rest of us TMC owners.

if you are here because you wish to be relieved of TMC ownership, there is no one here who can give you definitive and productive answers of how to do so without the possibility of being financially scarred as a consequence. it has been noted that TMC has a plan in place for those in this position. look carefully before you leap into a decision. consider having a reliable attorney review and approve any legal papers distributed by TMC. trust is not one of TMC's virtues.

we have options regarding our plight vs TMC/bluegreen. they require special consideration, then action.

.....sit back and accept the status quo

.....retain your own legal representation

.....represent yourself (as one redweek.com responder did somewhat successfully) in small claims court.

.....check former pages of THE MANHATTAN CLUB FORUM for available attorney information.

there is a true esprit de corps in this forum that we should be thankful for. sometimes it is buried in insults and denigrating someone else's ideas. that is hurtful, uncalled for and unproductive, probably brought on by anger. we are really above that. we can and will rise to the occasion, and hopefully gain some much-needed satisfaction regarding our relationship with TMC.
