Very well stated, Michelle. The Conditions Of Participation (COP) and
Behavior, Dress, Restroom (BDR) were created as guidelines for everyone.
DLV has some very mainstream activities, and the COP and BDR is
enforced for the overall comfort of the majority.

With very few exceptions, the past few DLVs have been remarkably free of
negative incidents. Most of those who want to live out their CD
fantasies have either not recently attended DLV, or have moved on to
other T* events that are more closeted/safe/tolerant of that type of
attitude.

As a group, I can say that we are very tolerant of people who try to fit
into the COP and BDR guidelines. It is those who blatantly ignore the
guidelines and embarass the majority that should and will be confronted.
Everyone who attends DLV spends a considerable amount of money,
considering travel, hotel, meals, and yes..gambling. It would be a
shame to let a thoughtless few spoil the vacation for everyone.

That's my opintion.
