From my experience with the Chicago Java User's Group. They've done a fantastic job at getting speakers I'd like to go and see. (And sometimes they get spring speakers .. can't win them all :))

Feedback is collected from the organization team and it is taken seriously. There are speakers that are asked not to come back.

I've never seen a speaker that wasn't prepared at a CJUG talk.

To me it sounds like the writer of the post has seen a poorly managed meetup.
