Punchmaster,

I don' t think that I have ever heard it explained quite that way. I' m sure that you must have some knowledge of the organization or else you would not be posting with such authority. Just who do you represent when you blat out this information.
During the short time that I have been in the IBO I have never got that impression entirely on any of the " moaning or complaining" that I do. I may not be at the top of the popularity poll but I think that if what you are saying is entirely true than you should explain this to the IBO BOD and the President and have them back up your story. On some occassions I have seen unpopular explanations and rulings come down but I have never seen or heard a complete disregard for the entire membership. Any organization that has total lack of interest in the goals of the membership shall not last long. This organization has a twelve month agenda and a 3 Month schedule of events that to date has gone quite a ways but I will assure you that they did not do it with an attitude such as you are trying to spread.

Your enthusiasm for the Organization is overwhelming but your visions of the future make you nearsighted.
