Sorry ACE
Based on your post it appeared to me that the only reason you stood up and embarrassed the man is because you were "leaving the board soon".
If he deserved every bit of your treatment I would think he deserved it whether or not you were leaving the board.

But you're probably right, I shouldn't be so cavalier about throwing out a word like coward.
There's probably better ones to describe officials that will publicly embarrass their fellow brothers and then not stick around to face them.
