Why does a decision have to hurt a "MAJORITY" of the teams in the state before it merits reconsideration?
Suppose an FiM decision hurts 1 team/community and helps none. Would that hypothetical decision keep you in the FiM apologist camp?
Suppose an FiM decision hurts ten teams/communities and helps eight. Neither of those numbers is a majority of the Michigan teams. Would that hypothetical decision keep you in the FiM apologist camp?
Suppose an FiM decision makes forming teams harder than it needs to be in some communities, without making forming teams easier anywhere else? Would that hypothetical decision keep you in the FiM apologist camp?
Also, help me out, when in this thread has anyone said the interests of the majority of teams are being pitted against the interests of a minority of teams? Aren't you picking sides in a battle that doesn't exist? Did I miss something?
