[MR] suggestion for new cell phone rules at events

[Steven Chang]

Did it really bother you that much? Was it at court where it totally
disrupted court? I think people need to get off their high horses
about rules and regulations. This is a social event where people get
together and socialize and dress up and have fun. If you're not having
fun because someone is using their cell phone, then walk away from
them. You're not required to stand next to them.

Theres a reason its called society of creative ANACHRONISMS. because
we haven't forgotten about the real world. People use their phones for
need. I would understand if it was some teenager bored at the event
and constantly making annoying sounds with his/her cell phone. But
this is an adult. Instead of complaining about them on a list. Why not
just talk to them and tell them how you feel?

Seriously, this discussion is totally childish and really don't
deserve to be on the list.
