I've heard independently that it was getting bad, but I wasn't there.

It would be rather bad to make an assumption like that.

My point is not to be scolding, but to remind everyone what a great set-up we
have with Brad arranging this for us every year.  Don't screw with that.
There shouldn't even be a discussion about "problems."  I'm not trying to be a
wet blanket, but just look beyond today's fun.

Arranging a convention is difficult enough.  I know *you* know that as well as
others.  Having someone not only arrange the hotel for you, but to arrange
really good rates at someplace really nice is priceless.

Again, I wasn't there, but the simple fact that there are some folks who think
the group's behavior was questionable is reason enough to think about the
impact of losing out on a good deal.
