Charles,
I find your suggestions admirable. However, "we" live in the real world. People are going to "go off" for various reasons. Some of the reasons will be chip related others will not.
I find the posts involving our first club President in poor taste. Those who know Archie Black realize he is not "ignorant" nor does he use ethnic or racials slurs. To ignore the comments of someone who does not know Archie yet finds it acceptable to "put him down" is going to get rebuttal.

If unpleasent subjects, discussion or whatever are found to be a reason or justification for not joining our organization than I say to those individuals - DON'T JOIN!

This board is an open forum. If I have any say in the matter it will remain an open forum to discuss chips or whatever.

individuals voice opinions; others react. It is human nature and will not change with any rules or suggestions no matter how well meaning they are.

See you at the convention - Jim Perlowski
