No, they are not. They are saying that they are reserving a district to host the event.

Instead of stating that the guild will be participating in this event by providing items for the chefs, they say that this is THEIR district.
Yes, I know how to read and I know what they are trying to do- I'm not that stupid. But this topic is posted in such a crude manner that is going to get a lot of negative comments, mine included.

The exaggerations in my post (the bold, underlined, italic stuff) was meant to garner attention and nothing more. It seemed like people were posting without fully reading through the topic or fully understanding the intent. Because I usually stop to read bold, underlined, italicized text if it's only a sentence or two, my hope was that as people skimmed (a word possibly to weak) though the topic, they would stop, read, and reconsider their first impressions of what this topic was about.
Most of the posts beforehand were from people who had not read and understood the actual intent of this thread and that, frankly, ticks me off. The people who posted in here who were being debased were people who were trying to do something nice for the community and provide a ready made list of districts that were going to be sponsored, but everyone seemed to ignore that for a completely off the wall interpretation of what was going on. You included, at least from what I read. I did not, and still do not, know how else to explain it other than what I and many others posted.
When Ct Pound wrote "Host the Feast for Community" (which is in a quote from the post of mine that you are quoting by the way) I do not know many better ways of saying "We have all the feast items and are going to provide them for the chefs at the districts we are hosting while the community is in attendance." To argue that they should have worded that better is, at best, an extremely weak argument in semantics when the community well knows what happens with the hosted, sponsored districts at Canthan New Year. If you knew what was going on, perhaps suggesting a rewording of the post would have been better than a sarcastic reply that added nothing but more noise to an already stupid line of conversation.
While the original post might have been poorly worded (I do not think that was ever the case) sponsoring districts is nothing new. I do not understand how people were under the impression that this topic was specifically made to reserve a district for an alliance and kick all non-members out. And that mistaken impression for which people refused to accept as a gross misinterpretation of the intent was making it so a lot of admirable people were being attacked.
