I have not seen any writings that indicate that Paul was at b&g or bofs or

i was at the B&G, having first checked with the host to find out if visitors
were welcome. while my intent was to pick somebody up for dinner, i admit
that i also ate and drank and socialized.
Based upon that data, I am inclined to support Paul.
now that you know the whole story, perhaps you'll reevaluate your position.
Let's see:
1) You attended a b&g after checking with the host
2) You attempted to attend a q&a with the purpose of providing
additional input for the ops community and that provided support for a
speaker.
Is there a better way to have handled the situation? Perhaps.
The positive outcome of this issue is that we are discussing how to
handle "drop-ins" (freebie conference attenders?). I still don't see
that you fall into this category with regard to this incident.
