Fine, I can agree with that, but I still expect (or at least hope) that
people who come to the VCF will:
a) not be rude, insulting or demeaning regarding another person's exhibit
b) treat other folks with respect as one would do in any public setting
c) bathe
You indicated that you would come ready to flame people, which violates
expectations a) and b). I've never had a problem with personality at the
VCF. People tend to act much differently in real life than they do on
mailing lists (I know I do).
But at any rate, the success of VCF UK will not depend on whether you or
any other one person in particular comes or doesn't come, with the only
exception being myself (because then it wouldn't be a VCF ;)
