I mean, there are plenty of asshats out there that deserve to suffer...

Not of they like that sort of thing...

Not of they like that sort of thing...

It just merits new and original methods of punishment.

but in the future I really want to hear a detailed report on how the Group President has suffered for all his asshattery....

He's already ripped the group apart, which is just so very wrong. And what he wants the group to become has nothing to do with the original intent, which was simply to be a "support" group, of sorts, where people who had the same basic interests could get together and say "Hey, you're into this, too? I thought I was the only one!" And in such an uber-conservative town like Cincinnati, finding like-minded people is extra-important. It's very similar to gay people coming out and looking for a safe community.

But Group President has been trying to turn it into -- almost -- a business, and a prestige thing for him.

And that pisses me off, because there is no other similar group in Cincinnati, and so a real disservice has been done to the kinky people of Cincinnati who might want support/company/etc.

Which means that, yes, I'm moving more and more towards creating a splinter group (The Judean People's Front). Because I'm INSANE.

I was thinking about why people like the Asshat Group President really really bug me. It's because people like that seem incapable of even considering the possibility that they might be wrong or made a mistake. So if someone is critical of them, their immediate response is to "get even" with the person who accused them of being wrong. So they end up causing tons of needless suffering for others because because they're too insecure to admit that they might actually be a fallible human being.

Wankers. Wankers with asshats....

Am I correct in remembering that Group President doesn't even live in Cincinnati?

Yes. Florida, right?

Committee Chair doesn't live in Cincinnati. Group President does.

I think I may be getting a rash by my eye. Do I call back my regular doctor or call an eye doctor? Fuck.

Start with your doc. Tell the receptionist it is urgent, that you have Shingles and you're starting to get a rash near your eye, and don't take no for an answer.

If you get no where, you need to go get care immediately somewhere, honey. Oh God, I wish I was there to help you.

eta...

I don't mean to be alarmist. You just can't let them delay on this. It could be nothing, but if it is the Shingles rash, it HAS to be treated, immediately, and it's not the sort of thing you can wait out, to see what happens.

Committee Chair doesn't live in Cincinnati. Group President does.

Oh, Oops.

I mean... Teppy, you totally changed the meaning of what I was saying....

Teppy, you totally changed the meaning of what I was saying....

I do that. Because I have no idea how to edit. (But you got Florida correct. Maybe Laura could send Brendon over to kick his ASS.)
