rowangolightlyI'm not saying this to piss anybody off or hurt any feelings, but I just gotta say this before it gets any further.
I know everybody means well, and it is an interesting historical tid-bit but let's leave that particular ball of wax alone, shall we? Camelot was a dream that many of us put our faith in and fucking moved there to build that dream and it was not all for nothing.
If you were not actually there in Blue Eye for Camelot, you have no real idea of what went on, how many people were really hurt, how we struggled and rose above great adversity and shone during the time that the show was open. Any other faire failure might have been sad and painful and financially hurtful but there is nothing to compare with what went on at Camelot. I'm sorry but you don't have license to talk about it as far as I'm concerned.
There have been lots of conjecture, rumours, law-suits and stuff around Camelot at Blue Eye. But those of us who were there every single day, pouring our hearts and souls into a dream are the only ones qualified to really understand and talk about what happened.
It was 11 years ago. Some of us recovered and bounced back; some never have. It changed some lives utterly. Please leave it be. Some of us would like to talk about it, others would like to pretend that it never existed. But if you weren't there you don't really know.
[Edit. On further thought, I'm disabling comments and will probably delete this in a few minutes to it doesn't do the very thing I'm trying to prevent.
{2nd Edit. After discussing it with one of the interested parties I was trying to protect, I'm putting it back up here but still with no comments allowed.}
