Resolutions?  Well Wayne Allyn
Root got quite a bit.  The Iowa LP
Facebook page still has a censure of him on their about section.

Whenever going through something it seems unique - going through the
tellings of past dramas- nothing spectacular here on that front. FB
unnaturally amplifies things.

For whatever the reason- sunspots or butterfly wings- this is going to be a
fantastic convention,
