You idiots want to see a temper tantrum?  You're going to see one now.

Cedric...you are sadly mistaken. The "trio" are officers and long time 
baronial members. They are concerned about the LEGAL issues surrounding the 
operations of the Barony. LEGAL isssues that effect the way we must conduct 
our business and the actual existance of our barony are contingent on us 
following the damned rules and regulations.

I, personally, do not give a flying damn about anyone's "reactions" to the 
"trio's" actions. Those actions are correct and above board.

If you or any of those "un-named" others had ever been an officer or 
actually read the damned rules we ALL have to operate under you would be 
supporting the Baronial officers in their efforts to keep your mis-begotten 
ass happy and enabling you and your friend's "fun" at events.

I think that until all those folks out there that are griping and bitching 
have walked a mile in the shoes of an officer, of any stripe - baronial / 
regional / Kingdom etc, your damned "opinion" means little.

BECAUSE you have no real experience on which to BASE YOUR OPINION. Y'all are 
like "arm chair quarterbacks" all mouth and no knowledge.

What's wrong with "the people" ? ....WELL...FOR ONE, "THE PEOPLE" DON'T 
ATTEND FIGHTER PRACTICES. Where are "the people" when fighter practice rolls 
around every week? The fighters and officers get damned tired of holding 
fighter practice...being there and no one "old" comes out...no one "new" 
comes out and their time is wasted.

Two, the "committee" has been existance for almost a YEAR! If you and those 
"concerned" others would have attended officer's or populace meetings for 
the last year you would have known about the "committee". Or perhaps if 
y'all had paid attention at the meetings this wouldn't have been such a 
"suprise"...

"THE COMMITTEE" has been spending their *private* time looking for options: 
new location or locations, different times, different cities, ways to get 
the people out to practice, different days of the week... et cetera TRYING 
TO *SERVE* THE PEOPLE OF THE BARONY...

You don't like the way things are...??!! Then get off your dead ass and 
become an officer and WORK for change rather than just spew bilge at the 
world and look self satisfied.....

There have been calls for input on the Fighter Practice issue at every 
official meeting the Barony's held for several months...

THIS IS MY CHALLENGE TO ALL OF Y'ALL: PUT UP OR SHUT UP! PUT YOUR MONEY 
WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS! ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS! EITHER DO SOMETHING 
CONSTRUCTIVE OR DO NOTHING....LEAVE THE DESTRUCTIVE AT HOME!
