The current rules by which Board members can be removed at anytime makes
personalization of conflicts likely. That is, if someone doesn't like a
decision they can argue that the Board members they oppose are best
removed. If Board members could only be removed for "cause", then
arguing the facts would be more encouraged. 

The recent "war" is an example, I think, of the inadvisability of
arbitrary removal of Board members. It seems reasonable that new Board
members have some period of time to demonstrate their competence, as
opposed to being removed the first time they make a mistake or unpopular
decision.
