To be honest, I don't think that was the case at any point. There were 
always disagreements, but no one person (that I recall, anyway) was 
particularly responsible for that.

I think there was a sensitivity surrounding many "rules" issues because 
the constitution was relatively difficult to work with; and many 
sensible things that we might liked to have done - e.g., hold an 
election outside an AGM - were not possible. Working within that 
framework was frustrating at times, and didn't help the lack of 
consensus (but, equally, I don't think caused it).

Cheers,

Alex.
