Now we know why Kid has been quiet lately..

[-Jrabbit]

So you think they forged a letter so that they could pay for security and pay the police? Dude, are you a 9 11 truther as well?

You seem to be as nuts as Ssva.

This is your reaction to me agreeing with you? Calling me an ignorant ass? Nice.

Take a nice, deep breath, Kid. Then, a long, slowwwww exhale. That's it.

Now, read this: It represents two distinct and very real possibilities:

1. The letter shown in the OP video is legit and real. I totally believe this is possible. If so, end of story.

2. The letter was created by the AVFM or their allies as a fundraising tool to pay for required (but unplanned) security at the conference. Having seen the borderline fraudulent donation appeals I have personally received from both mainstream and fringe fundraisers, this is also a distinct possibility. I didn't call it fraud; you leapt to a false conclusion and accused me of something I didn't actually say.

Now, some perspective for you: I have, in my professional career, organized a fair number of conferences, meetings, parties, and concerts at major hotels. I have encountered requests for extra security and/or extra insurance on several occasions. Often enough so that it became part of my planning process, because budgets were involved. For an organization like yours, I would suggest a similar outlook, since an in-your-face attitude with public and online confrontations seem to be routine.

Like it or not, your conference has been flagged as high risk, and the reasons are unimportant. The hotel has its reputation, its other guests, and its staff to consider. And it's not just danger they are concerned with. If guests are uncomfortable, they tend not to come back, and that costs them business long-term. The extra security and insurance are what it takes for the facility to be willing to accept the risks and costs associated with your event. It's just business.

AVFM has raised the needed funds; good for you! Enjoy your conference. I really do hope it goes smoothly.

I didn't take your statement as agreeing with me. Regardless, I apologize.

Projection, google it genius.

And how did typing that make you feel?

I don't talk about my feelings with people who might have things in their ass.

[pchang]

You really should try to open up more. The first step in dealing with your pent up rage is getting it out in the open.

[Kidlicious]

You really should try to open up more.

No means no!

[Kidlicious]

Open up to poly? Good idea. You go first. See what the psychos do to you. I get plenty of crap without opening up.

I appreciate and accept your apology, Kidicious.

If you opened up and expressed yourself in an appropriate way, I would not rip on you.

I would also white knight your punk ass against those who did.

[Kidlicious]

I don't feel that much. It sucks. Idk if it's cause I'm getting old or what. I just got a better job and it's like it doesn't matter that much.

[Sava]

Depression? Anhedonia?

[Kidlicious]

Depression? Anhedonia?

I hadn't heard of the second one but that might be it.

[pchang]

Well, anhedonia and depression often go together. Have you been taking any medications of any sort?

[ZEE]
