Indiana, kudos for sharing the link. It provides a "short and to the point" view from both sides.

I liked this last sentence from Tony Buford.

"Brothers, there is a proper way to take care of problems, and we need to do it in the right way and in the right spirit."

Too bad Tony wasn't available to speak at Whistler. The brothers present at the Whistler conference did need a voice of reason.
What is it "in the right way and in the right spirit"? What Tony said is a well intended principle, but difficult to execute. For one pride can be an obstacle for a brother in receiving adjustment. For another responsible brothers are too locked into "one accord" with a system, that "in the right way and in the right spirit" isn't a safe option.
