Sharon,
Your posting reminded me of a movie character (In Network?) whose famous line was, "I'm mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore!" I had a mental picture of you foaming at the mouth with steam coming out of your ears as you wrote your post. Whew! This issue must be popping your blood pressure through the roof.
Here are some suggestions in reply to your post:
1 - Get our jury committee to tighten the juried member approval requirements
2 - Don't respond to member's posts that you don't consider professional or skilled enough.
3 - Work at your own high standards and just let artists whose work is not up to them slide by. It is not worth your physical, mental or emotional health to try and reform the entire group of artists that inhabit this forum. (Besides, it just won't happen!)
