Ah. Interesting.

The loss was because of squabbles that could NOT be discussed. If we could have talked them out it would have been much better. Some people had to yell, gang up on one, attempt to control the floor, and when those things didn't work they walked out assuming all would follow (only 3 left). And yet not one of those 3 were even there the day of the alleged offense that they were so mad about.

Groups change membership over time. This was just change that did not need to happen if we had only been able to discuss it and if 3 people had not assumed they were backed by concensus.
