It was an open session but in a lot of open sessions people are 'booked' (for want of a better word) to populate the session and to get it going. If the general consensus are playing some tunes then the open session is working. Having 1 person feel disgruntled because the consensus doesn't enjoy their style and he felt unwelcome does not mean that CAF has the responsibility to apologise or give the poor guy a hug cos he needs one.
If you go to a session and the consensus is playing too fast then stop playing along until they play something you can play along to because I am sure that if a tune is played really fast it wont last that long!
Please don't pass judgement on this further because it's hard to come to a conclusion when the facts cannot be conveyed fully. Most of the people here was not there (including myself) but I know the group that are being accused and I know they are very experienced at sessions. I am sure that this is all a misunderstanding and no offence was meant.
now can we just leave it at that or are we all going to keep running in circles until a) the organisers apologise b) the session players apologise?
