Brian1313 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 @Richard Lesher, Everything I'm reading to this point seems to indicate that the most revenue-secure way to continue for 2024 is to shut down Bingo for a month, change the bingo hall locks, nuke the entire staff, hire a new team with some morals, and completely revamp the business process. Is it just a matter of making the commitment to clean up bingo ASAP to be able to move forward with some security for '24 and further? If that is indeed the case, I'm wondering if there are area alumni that would volunteer, while putting aside previous conflicts-- petty or otherwise, to try to save their corps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is a giant barrier. This stuff is enmeshed and engrained over decades and so many of us have given up. Myself included now after a recent public and humiliating spat with another alum. Their drive to humiliate and friendly-fire other alum they disagree with seems endless. I want nothing to do with them and feel less safe to attend a show now than ever. I hope others still standing are stronger than me. Cue the trolls crying "me me me" in response to my sharing of my own experiences, which is all I have left now.

Jimmyjames Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) I do not understand how anyone could "trust" SCV to do the right thing at this point.

I wouldn’t let them stop me from going. They usually talk a big game on the interNUT, but when you run into them eye-to-eye, they have pee dribbling down their leg because they’ve encountered you. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means a lot to hear that from you, genuinely. Beyond them, the whole experience has still proven very triggering for me so we will have to see. Flo might be it for me for a while. 6-8 hrs one way just to be triggered is a tall order. An old timer Troop vet comforted me last time though, which was nice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
