Typical "no thought" reply.

Perfectly simple I would have thought, after reviewing all the details involved with the play and payment of these events, a person has the right to decide not to play if they do not like any aspect of the event.
My statement was just more succinct.

Well not really, because...........................
Players have bought into a competition, no doubt booked hotels/travel arrangements/time of work etc....
To pull out now would mean loosing money over the buy in etc....
Now, had this been announced BEFORE players bought in, then I would accept your "dont like it, dont play" comment.

Events do not always got to plan no matter how much planning is involved and things can change at short notice, adaptability has been an apparent strength of humans for quite a while now, so players can accept these changes and play or simply decide to make a stand against something they feel is wrong & pull out.
However, we both know that even the most ardent voice of disent will still play these events.
I have nothing against voicing opinions, but APAT does it"s absolute utmost to do the best it can for it"s members, yet it seems there is always an element that crawls out of the woodwork to slate them when there is the slightest change or hiccup.
I just dislike people who whinge, if they feel so strongly then boycott the events, the rest of us will enjoy ourselves regardless.
BTW FYP.

I know lots of words, but I"m not too good at the debating skills necessary to rearrange them into a convincing argument.

Perfection might be difficult - but that doesn"t mean we shouldn"t aspire to it.
To suggest that the only course of action when disagreeing with any aspect of the tour is to either say nothing and put up with it - or to boycott it completely shows a distinct lack of imagination, creativity and intellect.
BTW FYP.

Your addition to my post is actually quite amusing, nice one.
No where did my post suggest we should not aspire to perfection, it just expressed that things can and do change and we should be prepared to adapt to the situations that arise. Nor did I say we should just accept such things without stating our opinions, I am all for it.
My opinion is some people love to cause trouble, taking minor things and trying to make them into some huge argument and only appear on the forum to criticise. Furthermore, tis my opinion that some just love to disagree with others just because of who they are or to voice "Opinions" just fit into a certain clique.
Sharing opinions is a good thing, whinging on when you will not back up your words with actions, is not.
Certain people do indeed make a big noise about the apparent faults with APAT but if they really felt so strongly about such things then they would cease to bother with APAT or play any of the events, they do not.
Oh well, some people will never agree, a fundamental of life.
