I've had personal issues and I wasn't kidding when I said the coup
members make me physically sick to be around.
But I also predicted this was the only way things were going to end.
Not really hard once you've gotten slimed by the true character of the
people responsible. And now, as before, I don't see how you can stop
it. I speak only for only myself here, but it seems pointless to expect
people who've done what they've done to allow what they've stolen to
slip from their grasp or to do the right thing. They're simply not
going to let that happen.
Our Canonical Community Rep and coup member Mark Russell,
community-minded fellow that he is, recently said allowing existing
NYLUG members to keep their membership would only be appeasement toward
me. So what do you expect?
