You can't be serious! First of all, how do you know and/or define
"acceptable methods or procedures"? Can you really say that all of us
here make carbon prints the same way? Should everyone really make carbon
prints the same way? At best this proposal verges on elitism; at worst,
on censorship.
Finally, who cares if this proposed group sends a "nasty letter on
official letterhead banning them from ever joining the society if they
continue in their practices"? Do you really think that this will do
anything other than ensure that nobody wants to be part of the club?
