When last we saw our beloved Captain, he was using sharp objects to cut ties with other clubs that would not support him in his endeavor to piss off as many people as possible without cutting his own throat. Soon after my last posting of the further adventures of the Illustrious Captain Nut Sack, word came to me that he has left his post in a snit. A snit ? What the hell is a snit, the dictionary says it means in a state of agitation or irritation. So he was pissed off (in a snit) and quit.
The reason will remain forever buried in the minutes of the day after the meeting that most everything he wanted was voted down. It is a sad day when the leaders of a club or organization or hobby think so highly of themselves that they don’t bother with the facts or feelings of the people that helped them along the way.
Captain Nut Sack took advantage of a lot of good people and damn near killed a major club with a major club event only weeks away. Many of the old members were notified and are returning to help with the show and other clubs are even coming up to volunteer their members to help as this is a good show.
The regime and legacy of Captain Nut Sack and his main squeeze will not be pretty or probably recorded, but his dirty hand prints on the throat of this club will take a long time to fade away. Some of the wounds he opened with the membership and other clubs may never heal and when they do he will not be wanted in many circles. His minions still hang around the carcass he left behind in hopes of dividing the leftovers among themselves, but so far sit quietly, not knowing when its time to run away.
The club itself will have to determine its own path and how the future will treat it but it knows now that is safe from the harm it once saw and that its friends are there to make sure it gets over the hump of an event.
It will reorganize itself into a more member friendly club or totally fold . But that is up to them.
So long Captain Nut Sack, may you find what you deserve or with luck may it find you first.
And it will not be the club of old… ever again.

I hate to say I told you so, but.....
ReplyDeleteIt's sad to see what was once one of the best and biggest clubs in the state go down the proverbial shitter-in such a short time.
Yes, captain nut sack was not the best choice for a leader, which we now all know, but this is what happens when a club of 100+ members leaves the same 8 to 10 people to run everything for as long as possible.
Bad leadership may be what is destroying this particular club, but the underlying problem, or root cause was the Lethargy and indifference shown by the dozens of members who were "just in it for the newsletter", not realizing that without new leadership to replace the tired members who were doing it for years there would be no newsletter to be in it for. I personally served as an officer of this particular club for only 2 years and was tired of it at that point, I could not imagine how those who had been doing it for years kept their sanity. Yes, the club's now former president may have been bad, but when this club folds (I only say "When" as it now seems inevitable) ALL of the remaining members will also share in the responsibility.
Hate on me if you want, but y'all know I'm right.
Big Mike, for once I agree with you! I also agree it will NEVER be the same club ever again as many cornerstones have moved on either on earth or above. If one thing is to be learned from this, is that all clubs should be membership friendly or not exist. Maybe we as members should start by knowing who we are - I don't think I do anymore. WAY TOO BAD
