A message from Burn2's newish ranger Co-Lead

I had gone to the trouble of writing this message and then well, never released it. looking back over it I realized well, it was something that should be said, so here it is: There is a tongue in cheek saying at Burning Man: “Rangers do Nothing” Well, just like many sayings at Burning Man the complexity is much deeper. Rangers Primary duty is conflict resolution and upholding the community principles. We do nothing at first to find out, Listen, and Analyze, and then if needed we do something. That something always varies due to the situation and should always be as minimally disruptive as possible. The goal is to add insight at the appropriate moments, to right the course of the community, rather than demanding compliance to any specific rules or resolutions. There’s even more depth to it, but those topics can get lengthy so...
