My Fiance and I held out first gathering at our home (for the record we lease) last week. One of our guests gave us some very helpful pointers which we have incorperated (added a small hottub, dimmed the lights ect).
Its seems that today I find a printed critique written by them in which they brought up other issues like the music channel being used and the fact that the rooms that are used by my children on those rare occasions that they visit were available to guests for the night ( BTW a punching bag is not a toy) and that we have neighbors with a noisy dog (its allways barking because of the horses behind us) Ok I can deal with that. It was our grand opening and first time hosting a party. Ironically after they left the party got hot and nasty.
But now I find out that this person is going to (at a meet and greet) tell people why they shouldnt come to the club. How do I respond to this in a dignified and honorable manner? How do I, when finding my hard work impugned, defend myself without making myself look silly?
What really bothers me about this is that to me this person is also very honorable.

I'm not sure if I understand the story right - but your home is a club? they're telling them to avoid the club or your parties?
I would view any complaint as an opportunity for improvement?
I wish I could help more but I don't think I understand the concern right (??)

I wish I could help more but I don't think I understand the concern right (??)There will always be people who like to whine and cry because no one is fanning their taint the whole time at the party. You can't please everyone all the time. It seems as though your party was received well by others... Fuck the few that'll die unhappy. People like that often have a chip on their shoulder because of the shortcomings in their own lives.

Let them say what they have to say. Because the rest of the people that enjoy the place will spread the good news you need out there anyway. And you'll never please all the people anyway. If it worked and the majority of the people had fun then you did what you was trying to do. As for advice you will get more than you care for. Just use what you think is best for you and your club. You'll always have the ones that try to take it down. Don't let them get to you.
STFU. Anything you say is going to be looked as you trying to defend yourself. If anything, you will only give them credibility. Oh, you want to please everybody? Why didn't you say so. First, read the story: http://www.bartleby.com/17/1/62.html
Somebody is going to be upset. It was your first party. Did you make some mistakes? I'll bet you did. Could you have done things better? Probably. So, if I were you, learn from your mistakes and try do better next time. Arguing with him does NOTHING. So why bother?
