In my own bitter personal experience, and rational analysis of other testimony and evidence, what the UUA puts in print about itself is, more often than not, pure unadulterated U*U BS to say nothing of outrageous hypocrisy. The UUA and most of the U*Us that I know have made a total mockery of what the UUA and various other U*U institutions, including no shortage of U*U “churches”. . . put in print about themselves. Just Google – “Robin Edgar” and UUA – and/or – “Robin Edgar” and Unitarians – to see no shortage of evidence supporting my claims that U*Us do a very poor job of actually practising what U*Uism puts in print about itself. . .

And if a number of people suggest something that’s technically in place? Maybe it could use a bit more promotion.

So do you think it’s inappropriate for me to suggest that you should do the UUA equivalent of “RTFM” before proposed tinkering with the UUA?

From your blog post, it sounds like you thought that I suggested reading the entire UUA bylaws, rules, etc. I wish you had read my suggestion more closely:

“Anyone who wishes to reform the UUA needs to study the applicable bylaws, rules, and other procedural guidance relevant to the proposed reform first.”

I’m sorry that you misread my suggestion. I never said read the entire thing … just the sections applicable to your suggestions.

I do hope that you noticed the various articles and sections listed in the table of contents for these documents are also HTML links that take you to the section of interest.

For example, the table of contents listing where you see “*SECTION 4.12. UUA STATEMENTS OF CONSCIENCE” is a link that will take you to the applicable portion of the document. There is no need to read the entire document to review this section if you’re interested in the current statement of conscience process.

Take care and good night.
