While I think you and I agree more than not, I may diffr with you here.

One of the goals of the club (as I understand it) is to act in a leadership role in the hobby. If the organization is going to take that role, then I feel that any person who has an interest in the hobby should be free to address issues related to the hobby, and forces effecting the hobby.

Now opinions on the internal operations of the organization are probably innapropriate, and may well be disespectful. I am an advocate of the first amendment, because it protects the ability of anybody, even a doofus, to express their views.

THis board serves much the same purpose. Any person may speak freely, and others may respond equally freely. One hopes that the interaction will be of a respectful nature (even in the height of disagreement).
