You got that right.
I have spent money more than once to fly from Texas to California to visit the headquarters and have been arouind for almost a decade.
Likewise they would have to ban many to allow the change as suggested by mguru.
I say, let him have his new board and take his followers. Check on the number of violations he has had in the short time he has been here.
The board as we have it is fine, there are going to be different opinions and as long as the replies are civil, the all is ok.
I also applaud LL for taking the issue to Agora for resolution.
