Quote:quote(posted by Alfie)o you know I was considering joining the IFA..just for a moment after all the debate about David applying, I was starting to think maybe I've been wrong for the last 16 years; but this is all too familiar. The IFA dont seem to understand that by having members like this guy and not acting to enforce their own standards, they implicitly endorse this kind of behavior and this reflects badly on all their members and on Archaeologists in general.
As I understand it, the complaints about this company on this forum derive from adverts/statements that only appeared within the last month or so and might not have come to the IFA's attention immediately. Are you saying the IFA should have initiated and completed an investigation and taken disciplinary action within that time?
Not possible I am afraid - no matter how bad he is, any accused person is entitled to due process and a chance to defend him/her self. And, even if the result is that a complaint is upheld, stripping him of his membership is the ultimate sanction; there are less drastic actions available as well.
So, what exactly is your gripe against the IFA? That they have not taken unfair summary action without an investigation?
