I'm with you on this. I don't see the Bulletin as being the official Voice of SFWA, but a publication in which each article represents only the opinions of the author. Asshats embarrass only themselves.

Considering how many diverse voices there are in SFWA, and considering the service it has given to the field, I'm a bit puzzled by people resigning in a huff. Why not write an article expressing your own opinion on the subject and send it to the Bulletin?

otoh, as long as I can remember, people have been resigning from SFWA in a huff for one reason or another.
