Well I knew It wouldn't be long before one of the members complained about the recently passed re-worked/re-written By-laws. One of our members who remained quiet during the entire process of creating the new by-laws we now have and suddenly he decides that the newly adopted by-laws are unfair and how could we pass sometime so draconian? Funny that he sat mute during the whole process of drafting new by-laws; then at the meeting to vote on them he became angry and walked out and as such didn't stay long enough to cast his vote. Now he's threatening to terminate his membership if we don't reinstate the old by-laws which we changed because they were hold overs from the early days and were severely outdated.
The reaction of the base membership to his antics are less then ecstatic; most of them we've talked to say good riddance and don't let the door hit you on the ass leaving.
Some members question why even have by-laws in the first place; the answer is simple, without by-laws you'd have complete anarchy and there'd be no guidance for the members, so some type of organizational guidance is necessary.
Either way the by-laws are what they are and there's not much to be done about it as of this point other then go by what we all voted on. People need to accept what others have voted to do in a democratic system and learn to embrace change as most of the time its for the betterment of the organization. Otherwise your beating a dead horse. Just my two cents.
