    Thank You.

    Thank you gentlemen for your replies. I truly value your opinions.
    Your all telling me what my heart has been saying, guess I needed to just hear it from others

    Thanks again.

    If it were me, I'd choose the positive situation over the negative one and move on. Best of luck.

    I would say you should confront this issues with other members. I'm sure there are other people who feel the way you do about this.
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    Thanks Paul. I have in fact tried this route over the course of the past 3 years (right up to this morning!), but it seems the National body has no stomach for taking action. Thus the position I find myself in.

    Perhaps they'll prove me wrong, but I doubt it.

    If National will not take action then they deserve what they get, including your resignation.

    In a democracy it's your vote that counts; in feudalism, it's your Count that votes.

    Seems like this current crowd is much less clan and much more society and from the sound of things, that's not likely to change.

    Misery is optional - cut your losses.

    BoldHighlander;

    In situations like this, I have often said "When you are not happy whith where you're at, it's time to pack your bags and move on". It sound s like you have a new "home" waiting for you. I say go for it.

    Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
