Didn't know about the open meeting being on the same day as two club meetings, though that sort of thing is easily done if you're not in the loop.
I still think that the comment about not needing the media fans did the most damage. It doesn't matter that the guy wasn't on the committee, he was perceived as being associated with the con. By basically ignoring the situation and hoping it would go away, they made it worse. It was a very bad start.
Combine that with the aggression that is leveled at those who disagree with them, and it gets worse and worse.
