Hey, except for location you might be talking about a familiar club. Presented with an irresolvable problem such as you described, SOP for the mgmt is to stall long enough and it will go away. Like, the card is only good for some finite period, isn't it? From the POV on the side of the fence of your expelled member, an analogous example would be for some sorry sap amongst the unwashed to raise two fingers for leave to answer nature's call, and the SOP response is "the board will consider it," and there are pressing business priorities to consider ahead of his petty problem. SOP for sorry sap is to cross his legs until he or they remove themselves from LOS. Pretty simple.
