Thread Name: Smartphones at sessions
Subject: RE: Smartphones at sessions
Joe's still a volunteer, but he chooses to archive things and not deal with messages he thinks shouldn't be here, except to complain and make those complaints the issue. When does THAT become "trolling"? It certainly is more disruptive than people posting without names.

If someone's at a performance, they really shouldn't be using a smart phone, but I assume some people HAVE to be able to receive calls/texts/e-mail, although I'd think the sound should be off and people should take any actual calls outside. The hard part is us not knowing if it's necessary for them, and judging everyone the same. No one can control other people, and it's less frustrating to you and annoying to others to just control what YOU do.

...whether it's getting upset about people using smartphones when you think it's inappropriate, or posting without a name.
