Wilma and Frank, You made the right choices. The funniest part was that the FOCP reputation has sunk so low that no one wanted to join their board.
It was hilarious. But I was nice and kept my laughter on the inside. When they once again were such frightened babies that they silenced me for the third consecutive time I attended, I just got up and walked out. I really felt bad for Matt because he worked hard and is not like those other bullies and frightened babies! Their protection of tightly controlled dog and pony shows is embarrassing for the entire community, not just them.
