However, recently I sat down and read the rules and policies of SciBrick, and
I’m afraid I could not disagree with them more. I feel they are far too anal

I am really confused by your claims of elitism. Our rules are set up so that new
members are introduced by existing members who can “vouch” for them. This is to
prevent unknown people from joining the club and causing trouble or representing
us in a poor light. Scibrick’s goal is to be an organization that presents

strict in our new member admittance so that we can hopefully avoid embarassing
indicents.
It’s not exclusive for exclusivity’s sake. We discussed membership requirements
at length while writing our by-laws.
All it takes is for one bad egg to cause an incident at a display and ruin our
good name and spoil our professional relationship with TLC. I hope you
understand our cautionary measures.

Beyond all of that, the SciBrick rules require that members be active, and due
to geographical, chonological and creative limitations, I’m afraid I cannot
comply with the rules.
