I hope this wasn't taken to be as rude as "Shut up." I am sorry if it came across that way. I sought only to call for a time out.

This will give everybody a chance to step back, cool down and prepare for a more constructive conversation. I need every interested party to be willing to listen to each other. There are some things I need to find out about the running of cons in general. I don't know all of my parameters yet.
