you'd think

As if we don't have enough to worry about, a RASC TC member went on a tirade offending members and encouraging people to ignore provincial safety guidelines and if they found themselves fined to fight it in court. You'd think amateur astronomers across the board would be good with facts and scientifically supported data and be respectful regardless of their personal beliefs. Always a bad apple, I suppose. All this has exposed that we need to make more rules and policy. I feel like a student in a class held in its entirety in detention because of one rotten, mean kid.
