          Yeah. We get it. You're insufferable and lack any degree of

          unaware and insist on inflicting yourself upon situations

          you is your fault, and everyone is just out to get you because

                                  Short answer: unless the group's
                                  bylaws give you some recourse, then
                                  you have none. The leadership gets to
                                  make up the rules, and if you don't

                        I beg to differ. I don't care what the 'law'
                        says. I care about what is the right/moral thing
                        to do.<br>

                        <br>
                        If your government starts committing genocide,
                        would you say 'oh well, they passed a law to

                    <div>Off you should choose that example.The prelude

              I was actually transhumanising, but I don't have time to
