To be quite honest with you Crow, I'm not remotely surprised that anyone connected with PAAS, particularly in an official capacity, would be getting rather annoyed at you. You are hiding behind the "that's your interpretation" routine, but it seems rather disingenuous to me. I've no vested interest either way, the club I'm involved in doesn't even have a joining fee. However, I'm afraid that I'm also interpreting some of your comments as, at the very least, casting aspersions. At worst, they are positively defamatory.
You've been given umpteen reasons as to why clubs might have joining fees. I can't say that I agree with every one of them myself, but I will accept the right of a club I'm not part of to have them. For whatever reason, you are refusing to accept that any of them could be valid in any way. Sorry, but it does look like you have an agenda, especially with regards to PAAS.
Whether joining fees turn out to be for good or ill is immaterial. The fact that I don't like joining fees is immaterial. If it's not my club, it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with me. How a club runs its finances has absolutely nothing to do with anyone other than their membership.
