If my 10 or so sites are not representative, then my luck must be colossally
bad.

It doesn't only happen at commercial sites. I had a similar sort of
experience at a well known glider club in southeastern Michigan a few years
ago, which caused me to delay my entry into the sport.

I moved to the western suburbs of Chicago last year and found a very
hospitable and desirable club.

From my limited experience, the old glider pilots' tales I've heard about
most glider clubs being something to avoid, rather than being attractive to
new members, may have considerable truth to it.
