All guilds have their own "flavour" depending on the participants. Most guilds do not operate in the way you are describing. Check out other guilds in your area for a much better match. Guilds should be fun, educational and a great place to meet up with quilting buddies. If they are not inspiring you and lifting your quilting spirit and skills, it's time to move on. Life is too short to put up with a lot of ridiculous drama.
