It doesn't add value because it is completely out of context. It's like saying "I want to go on holiday to Tenerife, anyone have any comments" and getting a reply " I know someone who went once he didn't like it" well why, was it the flight the weather the hotel were you I'll was it wet/cold/hot etc. "Not telling" Without context it's a completely meaningless comment.
I'm not asking for mushroom to give details but If you're not willing to expand don't put the comment in the first place as it doesn't help.
Was the skipper let down by Balpa. Was he actually in arrears of his membership, was he wilfully negligent and that's why he got shown the door. Or did he, as is often the case decide to bow out gracefully, was it chinese whispers. I know plenty of examples of things that I'm not willing to elaborate on and because of that I won't even mention them.
I'm not taking either side for or against Balpa as I have no experience of alpl and am a fully paid member of Balpa. But mushroom's comment makes it impossible to make anything as there just isn't enough info for it to be valid.
