If there can't "legally" be an organization in Toronto called TLUG, then
it's somewhat irrelevant.

I'm not aware of any "anti-Thamer" clause.  It makes no sense to try to
"legislate" things like that.  Any time people _can't_ come together in
good will, the simplest answer is generally to not bother trying to come
together.  Any time people can't get along, they might as well stay
apart.

For there to be some "constructive" opposition that has some different
notion of the right shape of how to lead local efforts by those
interested in Linux could be a good thing.

But the sort of opposition that amounts to a return to the "days of
flame" seems pretty much like seeding the ground with salt and kerosene
and then throwing in a match.  The likelihood of anything useful
surviving that is minimal, and it would be unlikely reflect well on
whatever troublemakers were involved in such seeding.
