In a message just today you acknowledged that your organization has
failed to pay its dues, and furthermore, has decided as a "value
proposition" that it is not going to pay dues because participation in
this constituency was a pointless exercise.  This implies that you are 
not a NCDNHC member, and hence your support is of no consequence.

Crocker, of course, is an unprincipled villain, and will continue in his
obstructive ways.  But, as a person of principle, I'm sure you will now,
gracious as ever, withdraw from the list.  :-)

As far as the "proposed resolution" -- let me suggest a friendly 
rewording that I think will more clearly make the point:

  Resolved: public advocacy groups have essentially taken over the NCDNHC, 
  and, in order to complete that process, wish to now formally eject 
  schools, libraries, public charities, recreational clubs, and all 
  other non-commercial entities from the NCDNHC, notwithstanding the 
  fact that those groups were the primary motivation for the existence 
  of the NCDNHC in the first place, and notwithstanding the fact the 
  the public advocacy groups currently controlling the NCDNHC have 
  proven completely incapable of managing the constituency in a 
  responsible fashion.

I think that more clearly captures the intent, don't you?
