" .....I'd left in total disgust after a series of insane experiences with a modular group in my hometown in Florida......"
I hope my friends here will pardon this comment on a website that is supposed to be free of negative stuff. I fell this is relevant for the future of groups connected with the hobby.
I live in a town of almost 1/2 million. There were two different societies focused on Orchid growing, one of which was founded in the early 50s. The other started in the early 80s because of alcohol fueled hostilities in the first society. The second finally folded because of an obnoxious woman who ran everyone off. Alcohol caused the first society to succumb.
There is another society, a musical one, barely holding on because it is run by a covert narcissist.
My point? In today's world, we are all picky about where we spend our free time. Most of us will avoid functions that create more stress than the "real world."
Many thanks!!!!
