Tough

Sometimes I hate doing things with Go players. Usually I love it, sometimes I seriously hate it. I suppose that's the way with most things, but it really frustrates me how complacent Go players can be. Sometimes it seems to me that the only people who want Go to become popular are brand new players, and the old players have settled into this, "I like things the way they are" routine.
I want this game to be huuuge. And some days it feels like I'm the minority. I actually am trying to get things going, rather than just talking about it. In this, I know I am in the minority. There's a lot of players that would like to do something, but for various reasons either cannot or do not. Sometimes it's work, school, families, other times, it's just a lack of real dedication. Whatever it is, I know that really dedicated organizers are few and far between in the Go world. Maybe it's that way everywhere and I've just missed it, since Go is the only thing I care about like this.

I don't really understand what it is about organizing that upsets people. I don't think I've really done anything to step on people's toes, yet, and for some reason I still run into people that get really mad or put off just because I try.
I've been called everything from "shady" to "iffy" to "bourgeois" for goodness sake! My latest project, MNGO, has been a really popular idea with players in my state, but I've run into some opposition or at least grumblings already, and we haven't even had our first meeting.
I suppose I shouldn't be upset about it the way I am, since a lot of people are just scared of change. But it kind of upsets me when I dedicate my time and people freak out about it. I'm not trying to do anything that's already been done, I'm trying to start something totally new to support just local players and clubs. We're not replacing, reorganizing or in any way changing the clubs, so I don't see the problem.

Do any of you guys have opinions? Should Go really just stay the way it is? Or is it important to change things up?
