Please see the above thread to further illustrate my point. I've never had any trouble revealing who I am (as most idiots chime in with that info along with the obligatory characterr asassination);yet I'm finding "what's the point?" if any one group of forum members won't even acknowledge in-house issuess such as above or even the National Forest workshop fiasco I've taken the time to outline in detail for them earlier.
If you witness some kind of legitimacy in the arrogantly anonymous back-door dealings we live with here in Michigan...well thanks for doing so; I've sxpent a lot of my personal time simply fighting for openness within this community so that no one group ever excludes the other or bastardizes the term "shared trails" for nothing but renewable membership's sake.
Yet if every one of you is a national orv organization kool-aid drinker who could care less as to how hundreds of millions of orv dollars are spent east of the Mississippi or how community policy is affected when local orv non-profits are allowed to form "22,000 member" anonymous councils so that their non-lobbying tax-exempt status is not put into question...then I'm sorry, but I'll determine just who I'm dealing with here first before we all get on a first name basis.
Again, no orv organization that I've run into has had the stones to comment publicly as to the type of thread linked above and probably never will if folks like myself simply ask the following question:
If $15 or an annual fee isn't to your liking....how much is and where would you like this most often NEEDED revenue spent on your local resource?
