Well, in mid-response to a number of negative and just plain retarded posts on their forum (www.baycityrides.org) the thread I was posting in was deleted before I could post my opinion.  This really pissed me off, so i'm going to publicize my opinion as much as humanly possible.  To fill all of you in so you're not confused on this bulletin post... some members and people on this forum were bitching about immaturity and growing up.  Don, is the president of this car club and my response was to a gentleman named mike (the name on the forum is sxynerd) who strikes me as an arrogant prick (that's beside the point).  Many of you won't give a damn, but I just wanted to be heard.  SO, here it is.

Time for the voice of reason to chime in  :D

In general agreement, I would do some things differently in this club... but, the mgmt isn't doing a TERRIBLE job... but it could be done better.  Needs to be ran more democratically and not communist style.  But, then that requires the intelligence level of most (not all) of the members to jump up which is unlikely to happen.  I don't have the full story on all of this, but i'm sure i'll hear it at some point or another and i'll update my opinion based on the facts I receive.

What constitutes growing up?  Please elaborate.  Don just bought a house and is having a kid.  Sounds like a good start, much better than some of the people I know here and elsewhere.

Egos are an issue, even with me at times (but I can admit that fault and try to learn from it).  Can any of you?  If you say yes, I say BS because i've never witnessed it.  Prove me wrong.  Although, it's hard to judge the way a person "talks"/thinks on the internet because all you're doing is reading text.

One of the first steps to progress in the midst of this clusterfuck is to just suck it up, admit you made a mistake and/or state your faults, have a beer, and talk about how you can improve yourselves and work together as a team to make something great.
