although that attitude is easy to say and sometimes truly justified,....it's use usually results in a dissolved charter down the road. it doesn't take much 'bad talk" to completely destroy a club's reputation and word gets around fast and far, once rumors start......... it's obvious you have no experience as a club officer, or any club capacity that has anything to do with the club's welfare. just a few disgruntled ex-members or opinions, can do a lot of harm that extends far beyond the club's walls. I have seen clubs dissolve because someone was kicked out and that person managed to turned the entire community against the club. as past President of a large archery club, I have seen reductions in tournament attendance because someone spread a rumor that someone almost got hit with an errant arrow during a 3-d shoot. the rumor was that our course was not set up safely, even though the course was NFAA certified and used as a state and National Championship course, several times in it's 65 year history.... in which no injuries were ever recorded. being a "hard-a##".... is simply not the way to operate when dealing with the public or community.
