Thank you, Barbara Roemer.  One of the main reasons I subscribe to  this 
informative and helpful list is for the well-reasoned commentary.   Joyce

Laura  Gulden posted the warning below on Tuesday, June 23.  I  appreciate
Laura's caveat about bad form, and her apparent well-intentioned  motive to
advise others on this list who might encounter the leader, but it  would be
more instructive for readers of this list to have more  information.  It
sounds as though Laura was not at the workshop, based  on the uncertainty of
where Becky Bee was.  If that's true, then  Laura's information is second
hand and mention should have been made of  that.  Second hand warnings may
malign someone inappropriately,  leaving readers unable to determine the
reliability of the source.   The line about leaving the site with the
participants leaves me wondering  if both Becky and the participants were
unhappy with the owners/hosts  rather than my cursory first impression that
Becky Bee had the  problem.

It's entirely possible that the owner/host is really  difficult, but it 
would
be much more helpful to have comments from those  who were at the workshop.
Their comments might shed some light on the  issues, aiding others in
avoiding similar problems.  Control?   Organization?  Lack of  knowledge?
Accommodations/facilities/tools?  Safety?  Often in  such a situation, no 
one
is eager to come forward publicly, and in that  case, I'd rather not have
info than have it second hand and a bit  veiled.  It's too easy to take a
shot at someone when you were not  present  and you are not facing  the
person you've  accused.   Anyone who was present care to comment  in  ways
that might  be  checked out or responded to by others party  to the workshop
difficulties?  As a caveat, I know nothing about the  workshop, the host, or
the participant, but I have hosted workshops, taught  at them, and worked at
many.

Original  post:

Cobbing usually brings out the best in people.
Unfortunately,  there is a woman who is building and hosting workshops that
is very  difficult. Becky Bee was and is scheduled to do workshops outside  
of
Roseburg, Or. at Ishie's. She needed to leave the site with  the
participants.
I know it's bad form But I feel very strongly that a  warning is in order.
Happy Cobbing to all of  you
