And that is exactly why they can get away with that fundraising model. We are also free to ignore them.

But apparently if you dare to challenge, question or criticize them on a public forum you get attacked by industry wonks who shoot back at you with personal criticisms and even insults. I didn't start with the personal attacks, I was only giving my own criticisms and opinions of a public organization and its proprietary standards. But I get personal attacks in return...

Yup, that's exactly how it goes I see.
