LOL, no worries guys. I was club president for SCMAS back in 2007 and believe me, I KNOW DRAMA.
Only one thing is certain: what may seem significant, outrageous, and/or over-the-top today will be all but forgotten by tomorrow.
From a neutral perspective, I see this as nothing more than a misunderstanding; two differing opinions as to what the rules are/were.
If SEA-MAX were a continuing enterprise then I'd say we need to work this out before next year's show....but since it will not, I don't see any relevance to your quarrel. All is good gentlemen, all is good.

My only regret (and this IS significant) is that we couldn't continue the SEA-MAX show for you every year. I feel I failed in effectively communicating how critical this first year's attendance would be to the general public.

In retrospect, I think had more people known what was at stake, they would have supported it better.
