Though the offended member has apparently resigned, I'll just say that the "public TV/radio" reference was by way of analogy -- a pretty apt one, I thought -- and wasn't a reference to anyone's personal practices in that regard.
Obviously there are some old issues welling up here that have nothing to do with the subject of a member fee per se. It's unfortunate that they haven't been raised constructively prior to this, so that they could have been addressed.
A side issue as well, but it seems we're careening in that direction -- as for matters such as the quality of work displayed for critique, this is, after all, in large part a teaching forum, with, admittedly, a dearth of volunteer teachers. The whole point is that the works have shortcomings, problems to be solved. The benefits of the process are presumably shared by many more than the artist in question. Fully realized, professional-grade works show up initially (or eventually) in "Unveilings", which hardly qualify as "bad."
