Dear Mr XXXXX


Your recent refusal to contact the acting secretary by phone regarding
several emails and internet posts, was brought to the attention of the
Committee at their most recent meeting.


After viewing several examples the Committee has decided to suspend
your membership until further notice, any application for the 2010
season will be refused.


The Committee believe that you have been given ample opportunity to
make direct contact in order to explain your behaviour, but you have
chosen to decline the offer.


With this in mind the committee do not feel that any further
opportunity should be extended.


If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Mr
Chairman on 078********


Regards


Mr Bloggs
Acting Secretary of the Association

This letter merely informs me that a meeting (that I wasn't
invited to) discussed my "refusal" to phone the Acting Secretary.


At no point was I instructed by ANYONE to call the Acting Secretary,
so I do not see how refusing to do what I wasn't instructed to do
could be grounds for suspension.


Additionally, at no time have I been asked to "explain my behaviour".


The letter does not tell me what authority they have to suspend my
membership.


The letter does not tell me anything about a refund of my fees.


The letter does not tell me who the members of this committee are.


The letter does not tell me about any route to appeal the decision.


The letter does not have a return address.


The letter, quite frankly, is an abomination and typical of the
secrecy that is rotting the club from the top down.


Have I really been suspended??????


Acording to the letter yes you have & it could hardly be clearer on that
point.

You have been invited to contact 'Mr Chairman'. Surely the thing to do now
is to contact him & raise the points you mentioned above re why you feel you
have been unfairly treated.

Well, that's just about the most scatterbrained, unhelpful, vicious,
speculative, unreasoned, self-serving, immoral, depraved, illegal,
unconstitutional, sinister, half-witted, pig-headed, untrue, ass-
backwards, anti-grammatical and generally WRONG advice I have ever
encountered here or anywhere else!

giles
call me.....trust me.

Surely in the time it took you to type all this stuff in, you could have
called the person in the letter, spoken to them (acting all mystified:
"email - wot email? gosh it must have got lost in my SPAM filter. Now,
what was it you wanted to talk about") in your sweetest manner and sorted
the situation out. It's hardly something to get all hot 'n' heavy about on
a newsgroup.

Yes.
Think of it more as an opportunity than a suspension. More as that
good feeling after a fine meal.
And please, take a packet.
If you have any questions whatsoever please feel free to consult the
packet.
It's all explained in the packet.
I will need to have your building pass now.
Yes, Now.
Please let Officer Detail help you clear your personal items from the
workstation and get you a cab. On us.
Think of this as a new beginning.
Like a new tommorrow, only today.
Good.

Yes, under orders from MI5. I'd suggest that you cross-post to every
mother****ing newsgroup currently active about it all...you'll be a legend.

HTH,

....well, OK, so not so much a "legend" as a "laughingstock," but hey, you'll be
almost as famous as Mike Connor...

Why would you want to belong to a club that would have someone like you as a
member?
