I end up feeling like the event was hijacked by these rambling audience members, and I resent the fact that the program coordinators are not more effective in their roles.
Published: Apr. 30, 2024, 5:55 a.m.The moderator makes it clear that due to time limitations, questions should be concise. Inevitably, one or more men ramble on about tenuously related issues before the moderator interrupts them and asks for their question.
Recently, an audience of about 200 people broke into a chant: “Ask your question! Ask your question!” I realize this was a rude way to treat a fellow human being. However, we have paid a fee to listen to an expert in the field, not to someone telling personal stories and seeking attention.It is rare that Miss Manners sees an acceptable solution that others have found rude.
