I think that the IBO DOES NOT want to loose any members but I also think that threats should not change the policy, rules and or regulations. People that quit an organization because of a difference of opinon on interpating the rules lose any chance in the changing any thing that they consider to be wrong.
If you think that you will be hurting the organization compare it to sticking your finger in a bowl of water and then look at the hole it leaves when you remove it.
