Even when some SPG members simultaneously berated MR members as cheaters because small number used the meeting nights while asking how to conduct the meetings MR members have stepped forward and helped hundreds of people, without any attitude. No MR members have explained why SPG members should be excluded from any eligibility. It is a stark difference.
Let's be real - if the roles were reversed, I'm sure there would have been plenty of MR "whining" as you and others call it. In fact, some have "whined" that SPGers can do 100 SPG nights this year and get an Ambassador for next year, w/o the $20K spend (even though all-in that's probably what they are spending anyways).
