*Now* we're getting somewhere, and you may be surprised to learn that on this
point you and I are in complete agreement! A non-guvmint-funded club is
absolutely free to accept or reject members as it sees fit; it can refuse
membership on basis of "race," religion, gender, age, sexual preference, or
even the color of one's shirt. No one is arguing that a club must be forced to
accept members indiscriminately. The very fact that it's a private club
guarantees that it can set its own agenda without some external body dictating
the club's rules for it.
Dave!

If the club wants to reject members it has every right to do so. (...) (24 years ago, 2-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
