Why don't you people get your facts straight before spouting off looking
like a bunch of damn lemmings (or whatever those little bastard animals
are that leap off cliffs following each other mindlessly!!!). The Rules
list is not trying to eliminate multiple judge shows. We are trying to
work it out so that shows can have as many friggin judges as they want,
just not a bazillion NAN cards given out per class. If you want to do
something about it, join the list and do things according to the
appropriate channels. A couple artists getting a petition going for
some friends is not the proper channel. And if you think this hobby is
going to stop on a dime and change its course for you because of who you
are, you are sorely mistaken. That, or maybe I'm a part of an
organization that is in dire need of a backbone and someone in charge to
enforce the damn rules it's written for itself and supposed to uphold.

I'm trying to go about this the RIGHT way, and not just try to sneak
something by the rules, which is what was done with Playdate shows to
begin with and admitted to by the ones that started them. "It was just
an experimental thing we wanted to try" was I believe what was said.

And those of you that "don't have time" for those hobbiests that don't
agree with you, or "don't have time" to participate in a discussion
group about any of this, sit down and shut up until you have some iota
of knowledge of the WHOLE situation. Everyone wants to rant and rave
about all this crap, but no one actually wants to step up, or volunteer,
and put their money where their damn mouth is!! Can't say that I
actually blame everyone though. I'm sick of being ignored by the Board
when I suggest things like polling the regions to see what THEY want.
This whole mess could have been avoided if we just took a majority vote.
Or offering a new fee structure so your damn shows can have as many
friggin NAN cards as they want, just PAY for them. Nope, no response to
that either. So saying I'm against multiple judged shows is a crock of
shit and those who say so, you have no idea what you're talking about
and just proves how ignorant this whole can of worms really is.

Get your damn facts straight before jumping into something you have NO
CLUE about.
