@R_A: When you are chosen to run a Reg, you can pick the location :wink:
Really? Did you just say that?
That's like going to a resturant, getting served the WORST plate of food ever, and having the chef come to your table and say "when you have run a successful resturant, then you decide what's good on the menu."
Let's get back to brass tacks shall we?
1. I run large non-pokemon events all year long my friend; it's part of my job.
Logistics is a concept that is
not lost on me.
-- fail on discrediting the witness --
2. I approach Jeff respectfully. I emailed him after the hotel regs and talked to him rather than blasted him ( when everyone else was blasting him). Me and that guy get along fine.
If you reread my post, you'll see that I have a big problem with the VENUE and not with Jeff himself. I have no problem with Jeff, I just don't agree with a decision he's made.
-- fail on leading the audience to a false conclusion. --
Really though, I thought you were better than this Mr Washington. Dogging out one of the hardest working PTOs in America over the selection of a GOOD venue. Is it perfect? No. HTF perfect locales at a decent rate in late April. Weddings are mighty popular around then.
JRs in the corner?? The room is rectangular. Parents not being able to see the kids? Come on man.
Actually, I thought YOU were better than that Keith. You're using the good ol' lawyer tactics to shift attention away from the CONTENT of my post.
3. Isn't it counterproductive to shift attention AWAY from the actual complaints I had and just turn this into VA vs. NC ???
MY POINTS WERE:
1. The Juniors and New Parents aren't receiving enough consideration.
2. I'm not seeing any evidence of collaboration because the regionals events are SO uncharacteristic with anything that we would have at a VA event.
How is either one of these points
NOT fit for an open thread discussion?
There's no personal attack on anyone, there's no thread topic diversion, there's no trolling. I'm just trying to put an opinion that MANY OTHER PEOPLE are afraid to put out there.
When I'm in charge of events, I benefit from people being straight-up about things. I can troubleshoot issues if I know they exist.
2.
LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT.
- Nobody got stabbed in the back.
- Nobody got personally ripped.
Somebody was given an opinion about
A CHOICE OF VENUE. That is all. Show me one place where I attacked Jeff personally and had no intent of discussing the concept of venue.
I'm
passionate about taking my 40+ juniors to an event where I feel they may be in an environment that may not be appropriate for them.
My concern is for them. Which I've stated from the onset.
Turning this into RA hates Jeff is just just rediculous and it doesn't achieve ANYTHING in the way of progress.
