I don't think anyone is 100 percent behind either "side." People all have different issues they are concerned about.
The volunteer help has nothing to do with Jay. Calling for volunteer help is as simple as posting a message or making a statement. The volunteer help has been requested and organized by other members of the board.
Maybe sarcasm isn't the best way to communicate. Now look at your previous post and apply that.
You have one board member controlling the website, one board member controlling the blog, one board member sending out mass emailings with heavily slanted opinions most of which are falsifications or as you say heavily editorialized. The others are doing work and business for the community. Jay's participation has been simply to try to rally the community behind him to oppose the rest of the board. They have been trying to compromise about the meeting date this week and they have. This should be done without one member using all of those communications to try to make the other members look bad. If you're looking for cooperation I think you are seeing from the rest of the board and you are seeing the continued attacks by Jay. He missed half the meetings last year, so I'm sure finding a time he'll agree to isn't an easy thing. Personally I wouldn't change a meeting date for him. He's lucky his fellow board members have chosen to be so obliging.
I don't believe you're a kool aid drinker. I just think you need to respond less to what Jay's sending you without maybe calling or contacting one of the other board members first. There are two sides to every story and because of Jay too many people are just getting one side. Try to approach this as if those people Fookes is calling bums and Jay is telling everyone have no integrity are actual people trying to do their best. Give them the courtesy of asking for the other side of the story and pretend that they have other things to do besides constantly have to respond to Jay's attacks.
