Jack, the criticism isn't directed at you, you did everything you could and overall was a nice event. It's about to EDGE who barged in there, re-supplied, hugged base and all...but not even that. What really bugs me is, that they didn't have the common decency to:
a. Ask permission to organiser and partecipants prior to the event.
b. Apologize to the above for barging in despite explicitly told not to. Instead, they went "no u" and trew some pettiful explanations our way, trying to make us look like the bad guys.
But meh, let's just drop it here. I guess we all learned our lesson.
