The Silent People are homeowners who don’t speak up at meetings (and generally don’t attend, giving their representation via written proxies), send in emails, or express their opinions with their names on them.

Therefore, Walker, and his ideological partner, Irve, would repeatedly browbeat their fellow boardmembers on this point. No one wanted to be the one who attracted a lawsuit. And, so we went along with their theory of “duty” for most of 2018.
