My point exactly Mr. Class,
Ask for input and accept only those that coincides with what you wanted to do all along.

I am not interested in playing games. I could have easily said, "what a great idea" and your response would have been totally different.

I have had basically one and only one objection to these type of events. Whether it is Fling by DV or any other event.

You either put one together with no input from anyone, and ask for attendance, or you put one together catering to those attending by asking them what they want to do.
If you pretend to be putting one and honestly interested in what WE want to do, you don't hardline it and say if you don't like it you don't have to go".

We just got back from Las Vegas SAAC meeting. We had a blast. All 25 or so of us. They didn't ASK us what we wanted to do. They put it together and gave us the option to attend or not to attend. We had a ball. It was someone else's event, and plans were made by others. Decision was simple. Go or don't.
We went, and I am glad we did. Nowhere did we get involved in the planning. It is not a must for us..

However these activities around this Fling thing seem to solicit input, and then get slapped on the face when some are made and rejected if they don't fit the profile of what is already planned.

I am rather quite happy with MY life. This is a forum to discuss, and not question the questioners.

With that attitude your contributions to this event will not amount to much. You already know there is a controversy surrounding these events, and that "take it or leave it" attitude may have you scratching your head in a few months as to what happened.

Have a nice day.
