As a burner who is familar with Burning Man and it's many regional offspring I can say without a doubt that Burning Man has in many ways forgotten what it started as and what it was meant to be. That is one of the things most of the regional events take care of. They continue in the spirit in which it all began. Although things like this do make us take a look at how we do things and see if we need to review or create policies to handle them. My home burn is very much a case of the organizers staying out of the way as much as possible. They believe quite rightly IMHO that the community should be in control and that they should decide how things run.
