I agree with that blow-ups like this (In this chipboard episode # 53; See verbal fisticuffs, name calling and rabble rousing) can sometimes paint a unsavory picture of our club. That being said there are many other posts about members of the chipping community promoting chipping in general via new chip posts, chip Id's and sales. That in my opinion promotes what the club is all about far more.

As far as this is not an "official club message board" cop out reason that you mentioned, it is a valid reason, not a cop out. This board does have any official capacity with the . I do however wish that all posters would, before they post something negative, accusatory,or belligerant think about how their actions reflect on the club. The notation after one's name should mean something, no matter whether this is an official board or on the club board.
