Can a Fiero club discriminate? (Page 10/20) SuperchargedV6 JUL 06, 03:08 PM quote Originally posted by Gary W: Why? Why do you care what they think or do? Why do you want to hang out or associate with people who obviously don't want you around? I don't know any of the involved parties personally, but I find it very hard to believe that they're all involved in some type of cabal against you. Paranoid much? You have proven time and time again on this board that you are antisocial. Your posts are often snide, condescending, insulting, or downright rude. That's the impression you make. You call it "Calling people out" or "Cutting through the BS" - I call it being an absolute azzhole. Do you think it's funny? It's insulting and crude. It's gradeschool behavior. Now, you'll come back with some "Link or ban" crap - stuff it. You link or ban - what positive contributions have you made to this communtity? You can post in a normal thread and seem like an average human being, but if there's any way something can be construed to be about you - look out! Waaah - they don't like me! Mommeeeee - they won't let me in the clubhouse! Now you're going to push all their buttons and be the tough guy on the internet. Are you really this petty in real life? Is it really that hard to be the man and take the high road? Personally, I think you just like the drama - it's all about you. Sad, really. Go ahead, turn all that around to make you look like the innocent lamb, and everybody's out to get you. Grow the f*&^ up. Give somebody a reason to like you. I haven't seen one yet. You hit the nail on the head Gary, good post. People are tired of his childish behavior and idle threats. He seems to feed off of this Drama. He used to run me around on another board this exact way. He isn't over there anymore as they tossed him out so he came back here to try and get tossed out again. He also started another board and that's gone also I think,, Hmmm I wonder why. But he still wont look in the mirror. Rick ryan.hess JUL 06, 05:31 PM quote Originally posted by ambfiero: Hey Ryan, go get bent your just as big of a ass as whitedevil and formula88. Hey Cliff, close my account because this forum is full of bitc$'s and I have nothing more to post in Pennocks Romper Fiero Room. The problem is the fiero is very affordable and because of that you get a lot of ghetto ass people. LOL I remember in the dyno thread you threw a tantrum. That was pretty funny. And here you go again! You guys take life too seriously. Here's the play by play summary of this thread: Whuffo - "Jeff you can't play with us" Whitedevil88 - "Waaaaaa... they won't let me play with them." MrsBear - "It will cost you $15 to have your membership application declined" Chicken McNizzle - "Poop" SuperchargedV6 - "Hey Jeff, I hate you. I'm going to post multiple times to that effect" ambfiero - "Cliff close this thread! Jeff, suck it! GGF, you rule! Everyone else pay attention to me!" fierobear - "preserved for the record" LOL Does that about cover it?

DL10 JUL 06, 05:43 PM quote But he still wont look in the mirror. Rick Good advice....you should try it sometime. I should really just stay out of this, as I have never met any of the members involved in this thread. I have not read about all of events that let up to this point.. But it seams all of you have trouble letting go of the past. My thoughts on the GGF new membership rules and the reason they are just now implementing them.. It looks to me like they wanted a legal way to keep Jeff out……….Membership committee denies your application. The club President has already said there’s no way he would ever be accepted. To me that’s being blackballed by those in charge, not necessarily the feeling of the membership at large. How large is this club? 30, 50…..100? maybe there is only 10 people out of 100 members that can’t seam to get along with Jeff and they are in charge Now on the other hand if he was granted membership and did any of the things that you think he might do that break your membership by-laws then You can ban him. From the pictures I saw it looks like everyone was having a good time. Not everyone gets along but to be denied membership for something you might do is wrong. And a question on your By-Laws, were they voted on by they membership or just made up by those in charge? Whuffo JUL 06, 05:45 PM quote Originally posted by Oreif: You have to attend at least two meetings/events and then be approved by a "membership committee" to be a member of the Golden Gate Fiero's car club??? What do you do for people who don't live in the State or even the Country who would like to share info or get club newsletters?? I'm curious because most of the Fiero and other car clubs (mostly in the midwest State's) that I belong to do not have such requirements. I am also a Director of our club (it's incorporated as well) and have never heard of the requirement that you have to attend meetings/events or membership commitee approval to be a member. We have members from different states and a few international members in our Fiero club that enjoy the newsletter and participate via Email but due to location are unable to participate in club gatherings. I can answer this one. We needed to set up some member selection process to be compatible with state law. The reason we chose the selection criteria we did was in recognition of what makes our club work. It's the individual contributions of our members - their ideas and companionship provide the foundation for our activities. Their voluntary financial contributions provide funding for our basic expenses and then some. It's what all our members put in that provides so much for the members to share! It's a group of very good people; family and friends that get together and enjoy good times. What brought us together is our love for our little cars - what keeps us together is the friendship and companionship found within our group. Our meetings and events (usually) are a break from the usual for our members - away from the hassles and cares and lots of good times amongst friends. You'll find people here from babes in cradles to in their 70's and beyond - and they all feel comfortable and at ease. This is what Golden Gate Fieros is all about. For people in other states - they can't be a part of our activities or contribute anything to them. If you're a person of good will we'd love to have you, but I'm afraid it's a bit too far to drive. If you'd like to see what we're up to, the events page on our website www.goldengatefieros.org gives details. While you're at the site, there's a link on the front page that'll allow you to sign up for our moderated email list. If you can learn from or contribute to the discussion there that's fine with us. Unfortunately, there are some people in this world that just can't or don't want to fit in with our group. Usually, they come to a meeting or two and don't come back. In very, very rare cases things like what you see unfolding here occur. What I just can't understand is if someone spends so much time antagonizing other people, why would that person want to go to a far away place where many of the people he's been harassing will be present at the same time? Why ignore my requests - and demands - to stay away? Makes it tricky for me - not only do I need to try protect the club from unwanted influences, I also get to try to protect that unwanted influence from the people he's taunted and harassed for so long. I don't get paid enough for this stuff! ryan.hess JUL 06, 05:52 PM quote Originally posted by SuperchargedV6: Nope you forgot two ryan.hess- PFF's new referee CoryFiero- Made us all dream, and maybe even a bit of drool on the keys.
