Very nice A.gar. your experience is the way things SHOULD be. Unfortunately even in this supposedly gentlemanly sport of aeromodeling it ain't always that way. I enjoyed such myself for many years. I have also been witness to the situation that JUGFLIER speaks of.

As JUGFLIER reports there are those that because they wish to stand above rather than serve, get elected to positions of some power. They cannot lead thus they use intimidation, fear, ridicule, and sarcasm as their tools. Works for a SHORT while and then the tools no longer get the job done. Yet so few will stand up and oppose ditactorship.

Then as JUGFLIER brings to focus, those that should be saying "_ell NO I won't GO," squeeze down into their corner and crawl away from whomever is being nailed to the cross because he was trying to right the wrongs. It's apparent every day in almost every way.
