I believe that I took each verbal exchange to our mutual limit. I have a pretty good feel for when someone is about to ³lose it,² including myself. And I choose not push others, or myself into ³loosing it.² On those points which I felt confident in knowing my rights I expressed my rights, courteously and powerfully, which made them angry. When they started talking about throwing me out. I told them to speak civily to me. Noone needs get thrown anywhere. At other times they maintained authority, siting rules which I had now knowledge of and had to take their word for, such as, ³any professional photographers are required to have permits before bringing professional gear onto the grounds.² I asked them where that is posted and thatıs when the discussion shifted to bodys being thrown about.
The bottom line comes down to: I was on their turf (arguably private property opened to a paying public) where their rules and rule book was not accessable to me. I have since researched the actual ³media permit requirements of the venue² and will follow up with reasonable complaints and according to their procedures.
