Then you simply haven't been reading. The reasons have been hashed over again
and again. If you care what they are, feel free to look up several other
threads where they have been stated.

That's an illogical conclusion.

This is, quite frankly, ridiculous. If you really equate NELUG's membership
policies with historical discrimination- or worse, atrocities- then you need to
do some serious re-evaluating.

Your hypocrisy has nothing to do with BAYLUG's membership policies.
You are a hypocrite because while you are in the process of decrying NELUG for
not being "thoughtful" and "considerate"- and now accusing us for being "rude"-
and saying that we don't "play well"- you, yourself, are being inconsiderate,
rude, thoughtless, and failing to "play well".
As a hint to help you think about your inability to "play well"- which of the
two of us sought out this interaction? You jumped into this thread and
insulted the membership of NELUG without any sort of provocation.
If you can't see how that makes you a hypocrite, all I can do is refer you to
the nearest dictionary.
