[Ground-station] Fwd: Your 2022 CDW Abstract Application

[Michelle Thompson]

Bruce, you quit ORI before the work with the law firm began. The process
had to be restarted because you failed to produce anything at all after the
initial meeting.

You reviewed the results that were produced, and that was appreciated.

You do not have our permission to show this work, given your unstable
behavior and statements over the past week or so.

We need people that are supportive of our volunteers to go to conferences
and events. You are not that person right now.

You have our sympathy, but you cannot be both abusive of ORI, and also
advantaged by ORI, without consequences.

The consequences are that we will take it from here.

-Michelle
