Further (clarification) to my motion yesterday, I would like to make the analogy of CLUG as a family. I.E. The rules are unwritten. We respect each other. If a brother pisses us off we can politely tell him (but we still love him). If the family really pisses us off we do not turn up for Christmas dinner.
Food for thought????
IMO This is good Rob (though a little twee :-/ ).
We need to be able to correct good keen members if they hack us off.
We even need to be able to occasionally "vent our spleen" at each other as some of us are wont to do.
I'm saying this out of pure selfishness as I do enjoy most of our meetings and Rik has the energy to arrange them.
His tendency to say things in the "wrong way" can tend to get peoples back up (myself included) but I don't think we should "throw out the baby with the bathwater".
