Aren't people entitled to voice their opinions, right or wrong?? It is indeed a strange turn of events. This year more than any other there have been threats to keep people involved in this club from talking about what is being done. I personally know of threats if we speak out about things, and intimidation to keep things secret. I think it is a shame, but maybe after we get through the current mess it will change. It may have started with Hunte who insisted the settlement remain a secret, (strange since it was our club that made it), and threats of litigation if it was let out. It flies in the face of everything I believe in. I think Gail and Ken feel the same way, so it looks good for our future.
