RE: Appropriate way to keep member from joining.
Crashem, I was hoping that my request for information would not become personal or interpreted as such. If I were that petty I would not publically ask for help trying to mediate this political hot potatoe. I'm trying to find someone who can suggest a win-win path forward to keep everybody happy without alienating anybody. My primary concern is to prevent club members (on either side of this issue) from spinning this into something childish. I also do not want to establish an additional charge for new members. Most of our newbies are beginners who just sunk a grand into this hobby. I would like to avoid impacting them because of a fewd going on between two camps in our club.
