Ok, I'm with ya on how if one person tells ya you got body odor, eh... you can take it or leave it. But when a whole room tells ya you stink, then it might be time to consider a shower. I.E. the group has spoken.
However, on the other hand, if it is as he says, the area DOES NOT set policy for the groups. That is completely bass-ackwards. It's the groups that set policy for the area - period! So I don't know, the story may have gotten muddied down, or I've read stuff wrong, but if this area was trying to sell me on an up righted pyramid I'd kind of stir some shite too.
