Something not to do....
Jan. 27th, 2002 01:46 pmDo not,
under any circumstances,
no matter how entertaining you think it might be,
no matter how much you think you're doing it in good humor,
even if you actually have a more informed opinion and mean it only in jest,
...describe Burning Man as an "over-privileged geek raver summer camp" when there's someone in range who's the slightest bit insecure about their participation in the event.
It will only end in pain, suffering, and thirty minutes of tedious semantic arguments.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
(Disclaimer: no, I have never gone to Burning Man, and have no intention of ever going)
