What is right to some, may be wrong to others and what is wrong to some, may be right to others. Having reviewed the Constitution, By-Laws and Ethics, it appears there is no reason why a member, non-member or expelled member cannot write an article in the magazine. So now it becomes what was right to some... publishing the article, is wrong to others.

To make this objective, we need to remove the subjective portion... everyone's feeling and emotions for this particular article.
