Hi Tom.

I moved this to a seperate thread so we don't clutter up the Chapter Nomination Thread.

First, I'm posting this here because you seem to prefer putting everything out in the public’s eye rather than contacting us privately. I don't particularly care for Moderating, battling or resolving issues in public unless pushed, so here goes.

If I'm not mistaken, you asked to be removed, on more than one occasion. If you are truly their "leader", then why haven't you been able to talk anyone into volunteering? This Chapter thing isn't supposed to be just about what you want.

You've battled and brought others into the battles with vendors. I do hope that is really a done issue.

You've complained about our guidelines and IB's allowing vendors to post in some our forums. IB owns this site so they can do pretty much anything they want. Live with it, we have to.

You've battled with "needing your own place/name" in which I went to bat for you and got for you and no one's ever bothered with it.

If you are truly concerned about keeping this Chapter going then step up and talk others into taking over rather that fighting us every single step of the way.
