So much for being willing to learn from others. Anyone who disagrees with you gets labeled "crazy" and you refuse to talk to them. Very adult of you.

Now I'll happily admit that I got confused over your role in all this. I am, after all, several thousand miles away. But given that you didn't organize the event, let's frame things another way.

1. Did Con-X-Treme *require* attendees to have their photographs taken?

2. Do you approve of that being a *requirement* for convention membership?

3. If so, how do you justify your claim that having photos on badges is merely "useful"?
