Well, I don't agree that this is about one "side" or the other. This is all about process and procedure, and whether the people elected to lead this organization can follow it. I am convinced that the lack of discipline in following the rules during the early stages of the Hunte membership application process is what enabled that situation to snowball into the eventual mess that it became. And here we are a couple of months later, allowing the rule book to be tossed out again. Wow -- talk about short memories...
