What about encouraging people like MBurden and Scandia, who were clearly not good fits for AI, when the majority of people on the board are discouraging them? That's not cowardly, but it sure was cruel to egg them on in a futile pursuit.

It is not for you or I to decide whether they were "good fits." It is up to the International HQ and the local chapter of the inidividual GLO to decide. I didn't see "the majority" of the board "discouraging" them. I saw a very small, but very vocal minority being extremely cruel to them.

I don't want to post anything more than the fact that I have begun the process and the first contact has already been made and a first meeting has already been set up.

I will say, that I initiated the contact with this particular GLO, but when I sent National a letter, I also sent them all of the positions I had in college, what I was doing with my career, why I wanted to AI, and more importantly, WHAT I planned to do for them if I was admitted as a member.

I also said why I selected them, because there was a very particular reason, why they were selected.

As far as an AI forum, it's kind of in the same catagory with me for people who are anti-gay: If you don't like gays, don't hang around with gays.

If you don't like the AI forum, you don't have to "support" it on the forum.
