Wow you're brave!!!
Not too smart though or sensitive, as you rightly admit if you can't do 
better then shut up!
some people see the meetings as "relaxed",  "low key" etc, Luckily we 
ask for a "gold coin donation" as you enter, this allows people the 
comfort of knowing they can ask for their money back!
I've only attended a few meetings, I don't recall any really "polished" 
presentation, some I didn't understand at all but I did learn a bit and 
no one told me to get lost 'cos I'm so dumb!
offer constructive help or suggestions or enroll at a uni and get 
professional tuition!!!
