First of all, conventions are contentious and it is out of that conflict we grow as an organization. We are fortunate the convention remains the highest authority of our fraternity. Electronic communication allows us to carry on the debate well after the gavel has closed the convention.
I know many of us are unhappy with the way National has been running things for the last few years. I encourage you to get involved in the process, help elect the new administration, and send a clear message the members want to see change.
As for the tone of your post. I have no tolerance for threats. I have personally had enough "anonymous" attacks over the years. If you want to engage in a debate, then by all means do so. If you don't want the fraternity to have a gay president, then state your case. If you think Brother Bertolino was less than forthright when he was elected to the Grand Council two years ago, then state that. But to set a deadline and make a demand, that is cowardly.
If you have a problem, state it clearly and be willing to defend your position. If you are a brother of this fraternity, I will give you the respect deserving that status--as you should do for our Grand Council members. Our fraternity needs reform--BADLY--but this is not the way to go about it. I hope to see you in Chicago and join in the debate.
