I had a dream that my friend had a
strong-bad pop up book,
it was the book of my dreams.

i think there is a line to draw here too - some people are professional/very experienced firebreathers who are comletely aware of the risks they are taking and have had a lot of practice. Instead of booing these people, we just need to make clear that it is not acceptable to firebreath without the right experience in a public place. I certainly don't think that making even the experienced firebreathers feel unwelcome and dangerous is the right answer.

Quote:as meaning that you are ok with professional firebreathers doing their breathes at meets?
Which is why I have specifically, and on several occasions, made it clear that I'm not refering to professional fire breathers.

Do i take this -Quote:as meaning that you are ok with professional firebreathers doing their breathes at meets?Like I said I'm not talking about professionals, I do have an opinion on that but I'm not going to discuss it on this thread because I really do feel the need to keep the number of issues at a level that I can actually respond.

Isnt it better, then, for someone to practice breathing at a place where there are plenty of people around, just in case something does go wrong? Say you tell somone that you dsont want drunken breathers at your meet, and so they leave, and go breathe somewhere else, where there are not as many, if any at all, people around to help/drive to a hospital if necessary. Would it not have been better for that person to at least have someone that's aware of the risks, and the repairs, around?

Oh, and how would you feel, if you went to a meet of fire staffers, and started to spin poi (or vice versa), and they told you to bugger off, or started to tell you about the dangers of your chosen toys?

OWD, I want to say that I really respect the place of caring that you are coming from. I think we all do. And we understand what you are saying about not wanting to ban it, or regulate it, but in truth, that really is what you are discussing at the core...and truth be told, I am not against regulation to a certain degree either.
........Just like with drinking. There is a point where it impares your judgement so at that blood alcohol level things become regulated, despite whether or not we feel in control. With driving there are roads that are labelled as unsafe for certain speeds. Sure we feel we are good drivers at higher speeds but sometimes the roads are not conducive to that.
