Once again the "square peg."

Just need to vent. I was hoping to go on a group meet (motorcycle) but everyone was being evasive on what dates had been decided upon.

Finally, someone broke the silence and let me know that the innkeepers didn't want me there, and that the group as a whole would be refused if I was coming. As this is a small town we're meeting in with few other options, the group would be hard pressed to find another venue.

I can understand why others didn't want to say anything. However, this "issue" was brought up to another member of the group the LAST TIME we stayed there (a couple of years or more ago), but nothing was said to me. The refusal of service was threatened to others planning the event, not to me. Hence, I have no basis for a claim against the innkeepers unless others are willing to testify to what they said/threatened.

Their beef with me is that they said I "intimidated" other guests and they felt I was too critical of how they ran their operation (without specifics, I can't tell if this is someone misunderstanding my intentions or if I was really being critical). Mean time, one guy in our group got plastered and passed out drunk on the front lawn...and they were forgiving of THAT. Often, people comment that I'm the most "well behaved" of the group when we get together.

It's not worth the drama to file a complaint against the inn for refusing service to a disabled person (the person they talked to tried to explain my situation to them...they didn't care). I don't expect the group to find another place to meet just because I'm not welcome there. Still, I'm bothered that so many wouldn't say anything about what was going on. I'm bothered that people knew of this early on but said nothing. I'm bothered that the innkeepers are discriminating in rendering service but in a way I can't prove as they haven't said anything to me or denied me a reservation based on these reasons. Had I the dates to make a reservation, they could just claim they are booked up, and it would be my word against theirs.

They might have been giving you non verbal hints and the verbal hint of bieng evasive about dates which they expected you to pick up on but you did not. This is a possible explanation not an excuse for bieng a**holes.
