[Ansteorra] Period or not-period:

[Chass Brown]

Hmm I can think of some things that ruined the feel of an event for me
far more than walkie talkies (which is a needed piece of equipment in my
camp since I am a high fall risk and in a wheelchair). Picture if you
can... Saturday morning court... The king is speaking.... A Gentleman
walks up in biker leathers smelling as if he hadn’t bathed in 4 weeks,
he is drunk and very loudly asking questions right next to the king.
Then the site-owner decided to right then work on the stuck throttle of
his motorcycle in a barn right behind where we were holding court. Did I
mention the owner of the sites friends got into a major wreck early
Sunday morning so he decided to run around blaring his horn yelling wake
up call so he could run us off early so he could go bail them out of
jail? I tend to not let the little things at events ruin them for me.

Everyone is entitiled to their own opinion...

and as far as event staff...
I think they work wonderfully for that...
those people all need to be on the same page...

but still, most of the people who use the 
walkie talkies don't use any kind of protocal
and pretty much say anything...

I don't want to have to hear someone
griping like a fishwife to their errant husband or child
coming from where-ever I'm walking...
and that happens quite a bit...

like I said...at least with the cell...
I have the potential for hearing half of a conversation...
and at least that's when I have that person in sight...

Overall...we all need to take others into consideration
more when we use these wonderful contraptions...

just cause they're convienient doesn't mean that
we shouldn't use them thoughtfully...
