Yes I did, heard him telling my father (an elder) that I was a "bad association" to his son. Drove around to his house and gave him a stern talking to. After that I was treated with respect. All except 1 of the elders were stood down within a year, seems they couldn't get on with each other. To this day my fatjer won't speak to this ex elder......... his brother in law. I have a good relationship with both of them, despite being out for 22 years.
