I've been a member since '95, and for most of it I've had to stay away from the blogs. The level of venom thrown simply shocks me. How a bunch of supposed adults can behave that way in public blows my mind. And it seems to be an 'in crowd' thing, too. So I send in my money to get the Bulletin and stay in the directory and support the emergency fund. I also think that they do a lot of good fighting for good contracts, tracking pirates and the like. The SFWA website has some wonderful resources, too. But get involved? No thanks.
