The purpose of this note is to raise a red flag about underhanded actions, including censorship, in one of the regional astronomy groups, the Salt Lake Astronomical Society. In February I resigned as vice president of the group because of some extremely disturbing trends and some shocking rudeness at the board of directors meeting -- including one board member refusing to allow my wife to sit at an empty chair at the table beside her, and another snapping "None of your business" to her innocent question. In addition, a clique has formed that apparently seeks to exclude others, with highly age-discriminatory comments about older people like myself. I also was simmering about the secrecy involved in naming the new observatory, and the fact that -- without any discussion with the board or the group about the name -- it was officially named the Kolob Observatory. Anyone in Utah should know that Kolob has a special meaning as a sacred planet for members of the LDS religion. On Wednesday, Dave Bernson, the club's president -- who has talked with me extensively about the name debacle -- announced that he is resigning as of the next general meeting, which is on Wednesday. Last night I posted the following on the club's official discussion site on Facebook, SLAS Talk. As dues-paying members, my wife and I should have full access to the site and to be able to express ourselves freely. But this morning I find that I can no longer reach the site, as I am obviously banned from it. Here is the comment that brought my down: "The sad fact is, Jared, for some inexplicable reason the club had attracted a lot of ego-driven folks who are much more interested in asserting themselves and driving out what they see as old people than they are in astronomy. They would rather use public money to build an observatory and name it for a particular denomination’s religious beliefs than to accommodate people of any or no religion. With that kind of faction bowling over everybody else, it gets so ridiculous that all a normal person can do is to retire from active management. It’s truly disheartening." If whoever did this thinks it will silence me, that person is sadly mistaken. More to come. Thank you, Joe Bauman
