Default RE: Activity is low

The fanatics will always be around, they may unintentionally detract from their "Holy Grail" but, the grail is unaffected by this behaviour.

What I mean is, there are many well intentioned people defending a refined system that, although not perfect, does work. My concern is that tearing down something that works without providing an alternative is destructive work.

I have little time for those that criticise while providing no viable alternative. It's easy to criticise MAAC, or any other long standing organization for it's external behaviour but, difficult to understand why it has evolved to it's current state, or how it's internal behaviour emerges.....

I don't claim to understand MAAC, I know it does a lot of good and gets little credit for it. I also observe that it's very publicly chastised REPEATEDLY for any perceived mistake by a small disgruntled group who claim their aim is to "educate the masses".

Borrowing another priceless Python quote to illustrate my point:
BURN HER, SHE'S A WITCH!
How do you know she's a witch?
... SHE TURNED ME INTO A NEWT!!!!
... uh ... I got better.
