So I posted a thread that named no names, to illustrate my point.
I intended to trash nobody. ...
So, I was disappointed the session didn't happen, and I dared to try and let the ladies know that giving us the most notice possible can really help us out. Oh Yeah, I'm really an evil guy.

before i comment, i'll just say what we all know.
there are
n sides to a story, the participants (>=2), the observers (>=2), and the actual facts (1).
so, 69er, what
was your point of your post? if it had just been "hey ladies, if i have to cancel, i give notice as early as i possibly can. so, i'd appreciate it if you give me notice as early as you cant. thanks." then it might have come across loud and clear.
instead, you added comments about "her diatribe", that you think it's inexcusable, when you "should have been told", your "believing this is just the way many ladies do business", wonder if this is the way some "play this little game in an effort to increase their revenue stream", etc.
ALL OF THAT, imo, just
diverted your main points off to the side track. consequently, lots of folks joined in and piled on in the discussion, further diluting your point.
it sounds like all that should have been hashed out between you two and not in public.
like wayward said " It's not a perfect world my friend, all we have is grace under pressure."
things happen all the time in every walk of life. that's a fact.
how we react to those things is totally under our control.
just ask for what you want, then expect the worst and hope for the best.
at least, that's how i see it.
besides, millions of women, children, and men are dying all around the world from war, genocide, starvation, diseases, family violence, natural disasters, etc.
not getting to consult w/ a woman is pretty low on my totem pole.
