You can expect them to used methods<br />that will reflect that self-righteousness if you pursue<br />this. It likely won't be pretty because you are threaten-<br />ing their reason to get up in the morning.<br /> The fact that they are undercutting the service clubs cuts no ice here. They will be after staff and council<br />members and it will be without conventional rules. Such<br />is their mindset. Please be careful. Wounded pride is<br />a powerful motivator.
