We're going to pick sites that give us the best overall value and try to get as
many of the features we need as we can. Until I win the lottery and build
us the perfect site that will be all things to all people, we'll have to do
with what we can find. <br>
<br>
Does that mean that we're going to pick sites that aren't fully equipped with
accessability features? Yes, it does. Just like we'll pick sites
that aren't equipped with equestrian facilities or flush-toilets or electricity
or whatever. (And air conditioning. I vote for air conditioning,
especially in August...) <br>
<br>
I do not want us to be in a position where we have a site that's capable of
handling hundreds of people, works well for a major Namron event like
Protectorate, and yet we reject it because it's not fully
handicap-accessible. I'm sorry that has the potential of meaning that
several people can't go to that event. We may pick a site that's not
equestrian accessible, which means those people don't get to bring their horses
that weekend. We may pick a site that's not air-conditioned, which means
that Bubba's going to sit there and sweat all weekend, or just not go.
(I've been spoiled being in New England for almost 10 years now. I may
never be able to adjust.) <br>
<br>
What I am tired of is the bitching and whining. I don't need to name
names. You know who you are. You feel discriminated against, and
you feel like a victim, and everyone is out to get you. We're not, and we
don't know why you can't see that.<br>
<br>
I miss Baroness Mairin. She would not have put up with this crap.
And she had the background and experience to go and bitch-slap the
"victims" and tell them they better snap out of it. I loved to
take her with us when we visited a site because she would get out there in her
chair and show me what was wrong and what we could do about it. Note the
second part of that..."and what we could do about it". Pet
peeve of mine: don't sit around and complain about something if you don't
have a solution. Her solutions were usually quick, simple, cheap, easy to
implement, and common-sense. <br>
<br>
I'm not going to tell anyone they can't play. And I'm damn well going to
work with anyone who needs help to play. I think I'm fairly
representative of people in Namron. No one is saying, sorry, you're
handicapped, so you can't participate...quite the opposite. There's a lot
of time and money and volunteer effort going into trying to make The Game
accessible to everyone.<br>
<br>
If you read this and you choose to be offended, fine. Be offended at
me. Don't assume the entire Barony is out to get you, though. *I'm*
not even out to get you, but I'd love to get you to understand.<br>
<br>
Care, <br>
Bubba<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
