Just wanted to ask people what they thought of this particular situation. If they've had something similar happen to them, what they did etc.
In our group, we have had someone get involved who has managed to offend just about anyone of standing within and on the fringes of the group. He dominates meetings, and I've had people telling me that he has actually put them off being involved in the group all together. In addition, this guy has many "great ideas" which are massively beyond the scope of the group, yet puts in no real commitment to anything they take on, or say they're going to do. Even the smallest task they've taken on is too much and has to be passed on. In addition, this guy has such a lack of social skills that they're rude, and hard to get along with.
Now what should be done about it? Someone has alreay had a word with him about it, and the person seemed vaguely shocked that they'd offended people. He's well meaning, but I think he's detrimental to the group - that said, it's such a small group, that it seems a bit mad to want to get rid of someone, it just seems that would be best for all of us.
People who've had and dealt with similar things I'd like to hear your responses!
