“That’d be me, but that isn’t what I said—if you bothered to read later clarifications. I said to prevent conflicts—”

Yes. You first said trouble then when pressed on it reworked it to conflicts.

Yeah, I "reworked it" when I realized you were not interested in discussion, but were dead set on pushing your anti-biker crap. I stand by what I said I meant. "Conflicts" means too many people have events in the same area on the same weekend, not because that will lead to violence, but because it will mean all events will be underattended. You can only be so many places at once.

If everyone sits down at the same table, the charity run won't overlap with another nearby, and both events can raise money for their respective causes, be that special olympics, MDA, toys for tots, etc. One I know of even helps fund a children's zoo.
