I agree that he should have been more on the ball and the other organisers should have read the memo. Mark Passio not getting his audio and being told what he was told was a fail on their part. For what happened 5 years ago, I'll have to research more, I don't have enough knowledge about it.
For me Anarchapulco is more than just the organisers and I'm not going for those people. I'm going for the speakers and for other people who will be there, buddies of mine from Steemit and people who are into alternative media and alternative healing, people like me who are into natural law and freedom and such. That's what hypes me up about it personally.
I get it though, Jeff Berwick is the name associated with the event, so his reputation bears a lot of weight for a lot of people, and when he drops the ball and someone is not respected the way they should be, it has an impact. It breaches trust. That will have to rebuilt.
Sure, I understand that. I think it's a good venue for this reason, that's why I have mixed feelings about the event, it's great on one side but there's an element of suspicion on the other, for me.
I get that. An event like that needs to garner trust, not just with attendees, but with the speakers too, and when organisers fail to do that, it's understandable that it will tarnish their name and reputation.
