Caveat Magister writing for SFWeekly - does a good job of discussing the discussables. I particularly like this bit: >>But critics say this time is different: The Burning Man Projects goals are less concrete than simply building roads. Meanwhile, the organization has made several decisions that have been especially controversial. Offering Burning Man-branded scarves as premiums to $150 donors and offering Burning Man tickets to high-level donors strike a sour note among people who have long defended the principle of decommodification. Critics warn that, if this keeps up, a substantial number of Burners might form their own organizations, inspired by what Burning Man was rather than what it is, and try to change the world on their own. Burning Mans leadership has consistently responded: That would be great! How can we help? Do you need support from our new nonprofit?
