I can honestly say that if you are willing to overlook the occasional 
outbursts or flamefests, WPLUG events can be enormously educational and 
fun.  People, particularly linux geeks, can sometimes display 
unfortunate social behavior, but I believe that the good experiences far 
outweigh the bad.

Maybe you should contact the members of the board if you have a problem 
with the way the events are being run?  WPLUG is really an open-source 
group, and often you'll get more out of it if you participate and 
provide input.  I'm no longer a member of the WPLUG board, but I know 
many of them and I'm sure they'd be overjoyed to get some feedback.  I'm 
sure someone from the board can post here about the best way to provide 
this feedback.
