Callidior Quam Ursus Typicus

My concern I guess is that it could quickly become an opportunity for one-upsmanship, and not necessarily in a good way.

I think there are a lot of inclusive people in the Society and cormac is definately one of them, but there are also people who tend whether consciously or subconsciously to form cliques and begin to exclude others (which is what I think you're suggesting with the identification with one group and the attempt to make that group superior) and my worry is if sections of formerly public ground at events become the province of said people that could be a problem.

It's probably my tendency to leap to the worst-case scenario and go from there.
