That's not what the hosting club says. In fact you made such an
impression on the hosting club that they had a picture of you in the
cross hairs of a rifle on their web site.
No one has been kicked out of TRA for merely "posting to RMR". If that
was all it took, I'd have been kicked out too, along with anyone else
who has ever posted anything here.
Nor has anyone ever been kicked out for merely disagreeing with TRA or
its BOD. Again, if that were the case, I and many current members would
have been kicked out years ago.
Furthermore, to my knowledge no one has been kicked out of TRA for
years. Even Iz wasn't kicked out, despite providing ample justification
for it.

Everything you post re TRA is kissass.
You have to CRITICIZE with a FACTUAL BASIS to be removed.
ONLY because a single BOD member (with real balls) stood up for him (the
truth really) under threat of resignation and full disclosure.
The remainder of the BOD then passed on the up to then pre-decided
choice to remove him.
That is how it really happened.

Opinion, the whole thing. <mail to: snipped-for-privacy@gte.net>
Why is that, Bob? Virtually every organization that I have EVER been a
part of has the ability to declare a person 'persona non grata', or
equivalent. So, why is there something seriously broken in the rules if
someone can be legitimately thrown out (and please note the use of the
word 'legitimately'). I will stipulate that most times I've seen such
rules, that it requires a vote of the BOD, with occasional temporary
authority granted to the CEO (usually President), but I'd be interested
in hearing your clarifications about this.
Do you mean to infer that an organization should be required to allow
someone in it that is actively (in the view of the BOD) attempting to
undermine that organization? I beg to differ - it is the RESPONSIBILITY
of a BOD to prevent that from happening. Should one disagree with the
direction an organization is heading, their options are to either a)
work within the constructs of the organization to bring about change, or
b) decide it's not the hill they wish to die on (and forget about it),
or c) form their own alternative organization.

I disagree. In this case, the rules were properly NOT applied, and Iz
is still a member (so far as I know; I do know that if he's not, it was
of his own choosing).
I would also state that the rules have been inappropriately applied in
several cases that I'm aware of, in the past. Yours, for example.
