To be honest, I don't think that was the case at any point. There were always disagreements, but no one person (that I recall, anyway) was particularly responsible for that.
I think there was a sensitivity surrounding many "rules" issues because the constitution was relatively difficult to work with; and many sensible things that we might liked to have done - e.g., hold an election outside an AGM - were not possible. Working within that framework was frustrating at times, and didn't help the lack of consensus (but, equally, I don't think caused it).
Cheers, Alex.
