Lots I agree with there, Gurney, and well argued. A couple of reflections. First,of course ..to be a Community asset there does have to be a club in the first place. I also believe that trawling through the past to expose someone’s character can be helpful and informative for the present but with the proviso that there should be an acceptance that people do mature and change ..unless personal hurts and agendas preclude that possibility. I guess that’s why I would like IB to address the couple of questions I posed. I’m definitely concerned about the club, care about its values and worry that DH has bitten off more than he can chew financially. But I am not as pessimistic as some.
Not sure why ‘slavish’ support in politics is relevant to this discussion. Probably can guess.
