I would like to remind all posters that although this is General, there is still a modicum of moderation here.
No coming to blows please.

Whereas I have read the said LinkedIn post and have Liked the aforementioned Lady for CUK/IPSE I have no personal opinion. I have never joined IPSE or whatever they used to be called as I’ve never seen the point. There has only been one contractor organisation I have been proud to have been a member of for 20 years. Paid my stamp every year, have not supported any moderator in all those years and have been happy to stick my oar in without being asked anytime I see fit or have had a few.
NamesFacesPlaces is where it’s at people, where it’s at!

Ask for a sub on FetLife and SDC will be the least of your problems
Do you know I can't even be bothered to look up either one of those two things you mentioned above here, I shall assume you're further in the closet than Narnia and leave it at that.
Whatever you think of IPSE, there is currently a lot of discussion going on about the manner in which the board are choosing to change aspects of its governance.
Now, a lot of members won't give a fudge about this as long as the insurance pays out when they need it to. However, we know that there are also a lot of members who do care about these things and we'd like to make sure they know what the changes could mean for future running of the organisation.
All we're trying to ensure is that all members are aware of an alternative point of view, and take the time to ask whatever questions they need to, of the board, before they vote.

Who made you the sensible one?
WSS - the point here is that if you're going to vote at the AGM, please read and consider all viewpoints and make an informed decision on the special resolution - don't simply tick the boxes without reading round. This isn't about this board or this CC and the personalities (or lack of!) within, but the future governance of your membership organisation going forward.
