Too many MORC bigwigs think they're the Trail Police. <br /><br />The problem is if you post on the forums that you disagree with them, they'll often either flame you or send you nasty PMs to get you to stop posting. If not, and you keep pushing the subject, they'll delete/edit your post because it is negative publicity. None of which resolves the issue at hand. <br /><br />And it's not like we can "speak with our vote" anymore since the membership no longer votes the leadership into office anymore. This leaves the choice of being a member or not as the only way to voice your opinion on the actions/direction of the organization. <br /><br />Until things like the "trail police" attitude change, I'll choose to support other bike organizations. Unfortunately IMBA, MORC and MOCA are all the same thing now. So my support has moved to COGGS, the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota, the Hillside crew, and the land management agencies that ACTUALLY own the trails...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
