LeeAnna, correct me if I'm wrong here, but I was under the
impression that those who p*ssed you off were not the ones
frequently noted for dress issues, but those who were not
cooperative at limo load-in time. Am I correct or incorrect
here?
Limo load-in was not fun this year. I got a lot of sh*t that
I didn't think I deserved, but in my case I gave it right back
with interest. One of those who got snotty with me did apologize
profusely to me at one of the limo stops. That was very much
appreciated.

I would state that the guidelines are there to protect that
99% from the consequences of that other 1% who wishes to have
their fun at the expense of those who want to behave appropriately.

I really think that the majority are on the same page, wanting
the guidelines in place.
In the first iteration of survey feedback I asked for better ways
of implementing the guidelines. I have yet to hear anything.
Likewise, I suggested that those who didn't think things were
handled properly to volunteer to be the ones handling it.
Again, I have not seen any raised hands.

I really think that it's the B part of BDR that jeopardizes the
volunteer situation, and this one case is not in any way related
to the incident that garnered far more than its fair share of
attention this year.
