I respect their right to air their views, although cheekily skirting the meeting rules and claiming that there is a mold issue that can't be addressed without a teardown both seem less than ideal.  Of course, they could have had any number of pickleballers stand up and share similar views, so perhaps the missive wasn't so bad.

As for pickleballers never being happy, how often do you encounter a group of 100+ people who regularly meet to promote/support a common interest and don't routinely generate drama and/or controversy?  It seems especially rare when many of the people involved have a lot of free time on their hands.  

With that said, my impression is that Joe has some sort of personal issue with the name and/or idea of pickleball in general.  Perhaps someday Dr. Strangepickle will write a post on how he learned to stop hating and love pickleball, but I won't hold my breath.
