The bits and pieces that I've collected suggest that this is the result of a litterally decades old argument with a couple of prominent royal peers in Indiana. Pieter and Nan are stubborn people who, when they're convinced they're right, don't back down. The other parties are equally stubborn and happen to have the political upper hand. Thus, they've been able to come to the verge of kicking Pieter and Nan out of the hobby because they vehemently don't agree on some things.
I think both sides are wrong, simply because it's causing everyone ELSE problems because of the argument.
What I think is really wrong is the secrecy built into the process. It's a hideous way of handling issues. If the facts of the case can't stand the light of day, then maybe there's a problem with the so-called facts.

I've already written my comments to the BoD.
