So what happened, though embarrassing, was justified. Why do people think it's okay to break rules? The rule was in place for a reason. Some people get the microphone and can't stop themselves. The producers even gave a subtle clue with the music and this lady refused to get to the honoree. Yet somehow the museum is sorry? If one person goes beyond the three-minute limit without repercussions, then everyone else will feel entitled to do the same. Then a two-hour program becomes a four-hour program. Venue staffers will have to stay later and maybe work overtime. (But who cares about them? They are peons to serve the wealthy). I believe next time people will know the three-minute rule will be enforced and won't take up unnecessary time.
