I don't really have a nickel in this dime. I did generalize about "Friends of" groups in UC because that has been my experience with them. I am aware of other neighborhood groups around the city though I haven't worked with them or had any experience with them.
What was confusing me in the discussion thread was who or which entity had knowledge of the chemical spray in the park. As I said before there were things which did not meet my approval with other organizations where I was a volunteer. When brought to book about them from people who knew I was a member, I had to take the heat because after all, who else could they ask? As a member I was ultimately responsible even though said events took place that were not particularly my doing. That's what I was muddled about and to a certain extent a bit still.
