note from afar
this came in as a comment on the post below:
As an outsider this whole mess seems like both sides are fighting over a golden goose by each grabbing its neck.
About a dozen Bay Area friends and I have been attending ROTR since '89 and happily spending our $$ at the non-profits. This year, I could not find anyone willing to go because the vibe seems so bad. I doubt that we are alone in our sentiments.
Seems like there should be a civil way to handle disagreement within your community. At least you'd keep the dollars coming in from outside of it.
Good luck with your war - I prefer peace.
