Heres my chime in
Its not hostility to non members. Its people coming on here, signing up specifically to sell crap or things that do nothing to support the club and treating our regulars (members or not) like crap. Your dues go to support the wonderful things this club does, like meetings and events such as ReefEd. If you enjoy attending these types of things than you should pay your dues simply based on that alone, not to mention the benefits that come with being a badged members, such as discounts at local fish stores.
It realy comes down to those of us who do support MASC somewhat feeling taken advantge of by those who do not, this does not include all non members, but there are quire a few people who only log in to post things for sell or to gobble up corals from live sales, etc, those are the ones I will not deal with, I have no qualm with any body who is not a badged member, unless youve given me a reason, and if you have, I simply just do not work with or communicate wiht you anymore.
And I completley agree with Cindy's statement above.
