Let me be the first to apologize for wrapping the good people of Cleveland into the one big package with those responsible for the decision making at the museum itself.
I can see how comments beginning "oh that Cleveland this" or "that" could be taken as harsh. We can also be smart asses. Just ignore us.

I don't think anyone is blaming the residents of Cleveland, really
I am not sure what you read. When people say we are mad at "Cleveland" I am sure they meant the museum board.

Those of us who have been following this for a while have read quotes from various individuals especially Jan Wenner of Rolling Stone Magazine and Suzan Evans the Hall's Director.

Wenner has said they are not R&R enough Evan's was quoted in an old edition of Higher and Higher Mag. as saying they would never get in.
