it only needs one person to step up, and at least a few others will suddenly find the will to do the same. This is a Good Thing
And I appreciated the way you and your colleagues designed The Gathering's highly-visible support systems like that. Empowered everyone to look after one another brilliantly. Such a safe space for fun. Thank you.

Heck I would think twice about it. Have suffered consequences before.
Agree it should have been simple enough afterwards for Eden Park to tell media what their conduct standard was, express concern, and leave it at that. What they did instead has also made them look like dicks.

Recall seeing something earlier this year about it being more complex than that - people in crowds observe behaviour around them to determine what's socially OK. Standing up to dickheads changes that equation. Someone may have a link.

Ah, hang on. It's even worse. From that Press story
A report in November gave the council until February 1 this year to make improvements.
Mayor Bob Parker and councillors said they knew nothing of the letter, addressed to building consent authority manager Tina Donald, until yesterday.
I'd expect to fire managers for that if I were the CEO, or the Councillors if the CEO knew. And where are their risk management systems? Thought Kerry Burke was meant to have helped beef up Council's governance?
but Parker said the real issue was improving the consent process
Clown.
On Newstalk ZB today, Brownlee said the city council knew about the letter two weeks ago.
However, he said there may be a problem with the "information flow to the mayor" and a "culture there [at the council] that is not particularly healthy".
"[Parker] generally is doing his best to see the city recover, but I suspect that it's behind the scenes that problems occur."
Brownlee said planning committee chairwoman Sue Wells also seemed to be in the dark.
"There is clearly something just not working right,'' he said.
Hard to argue with. WTF are they up to?
