The problem here appears to be twofold. First off, points already made seem to have been lost on some. For example, no one said there was no committee. Other comments have also been misunderstood though they seem quite clear. And the discussion about the Fests possibly losing money has already been covered in another topic. I suggest that posters please carefully (re)read previous replies before responding themselves.
The second issue is the absence of netiquette in some responses. Please be respectful of other posters' opinions and experiences. Further personal attacks will result in an official warning.
From the Forum Guidelines, which all members agreed to during the registration process:
Debate should be kept on a non-personal basis. Flaming and name-calling will not be allowed. It is never appropriate to attack, criticize, or condemn another poster. Retaliation, sharp reproof and cynicism are to be avoided. Disagreement is a natural occurrence, but as stated above, should be done in a respectful manner. Likewise, these disagreements should not be continued beyond the normal limits of interesting discourse. Argument for argument's sake is not welcome.
