So, help my friend out here.
Let's say you have this friend...
...who has come to find out (let's say, about a month or so ago...) that there's a board member who seems dissatisfied with the way they do things around his area (
specifically, where geography and member interaction overlap).
In fact, just for the sake of this exercise, let's say this other board member has been casting dispersions on a geographical group, calling your friend out (by name) in PMs which he's been sending to people on your friend's 'friends' list. Wouldn't your friend think to himself: "how
strange, and very shortsighted!" ?
Then, say, your friend watches and waits for this person to step up and take the lead... Maybe make the effort to change things to the point of his 'approval,' instead of imperiously pointing a finger and saying 'this or that'.
So, what do you think your friend should do? Your friend might have a pretty good idea, himself; but let's see what you think.
Your friend would probably never divulge the name of this other person, because...what good would
that do? Period. (...unless there's cash involved, of course.)
This should be interesting.
