To Larry & All,

The meat of the question is NOT as Scott states it. I am beginning to get • a
bit annoyed by this.

Welcome to the group, or club, as it were.
I was annoyed since Friday.

A good resolution has already been reached, one that
most of the membership that spoke up seemed quite satisfied with. Why it
is being reopened is beyond me. But since it is...

The meat of the question is not "is MICHLUG *able* to benefit a religious
fundraiser by exhibiting there?" Clearly that appearance can easily be
left in the minds of attendees if the club membership desires it. The meat of
the question is whether it is *appropriate* (for a TLC funded club, mind you)
to leave that impression and to give that benefit to that group.

Indeed, I forgot about that, and I apologize for doing so.

This was taken (not by me, initially but I see the reasoning behind the
move) to .debate so that it could squirm around as it wanted to rather
than causing a stir here in a non debate group.

I don't feel it was debatable, but I digress to, in terms of dropping it.

Dragging it back here *after* it was resolved and couching it in some sort
of "this is an example of how religion is persecuted" rhetoric over in
.debate (in a Scott standard "I get to say my piece and then ignore the
replies" way) seems extremely counterproductive to me.

I think it is, but I digress again, my opinion doesn't count over in debate,
and people end up harassing me. I left my e-mail open if they wish to
discuss it offline.

I know Scott had the audacity to say he didn't want to hear my opinion,
because he claims to "know what it is already". Unless he can more clearly
state it than he has, he *doesn't* "know what it is already".

I have read your points, Larry.

Let me reiterate, a satisfactory solution was arrived at and seemed to
meet with general acceptance already. Why reopen this? Why not leave it as it
was? Let the debate churn around as it wants to, it no longer has anything
to do with this instance (and in fact looked to me like it was over anyway
until Scott reopened it).

I am in Ann Arbor till Friday and would be happy to meet face to face
tomorrow nite with any and all who want to discuss this further, send me • an
email. What is needed here is calm, not reopening closed discussion.

I don't think it is resolved, based on others talking about it to me,
offline, but Larry did make a few points, which I mentioned, and I will drop
any further discussion on it.

My sincere apologies for dragging this issue out again.

Scott S.
