I know it's their rules, but it still sucks massively that they included you, then dis-invited you. I would probably throw myself out of a window if it happened to me. (Luckily I do not do H/D and would prolly never even try to get into an exchange that was by lottery because of fear of rejection.)

If I were the mod and messed up by including someone I hadn't meant to, I'd probably just suck it up and let them stay because it was *MY* error. If they fucked up, then at least I'd have the right of it by saying "I gave them a chance and look what happened". I know they had a lot of issues last year with people just dropping out or blowing things off so I'm not surprised they're being super-strict. But still...

Aw, I'm glad I made you smile at least. I swear, this year's fest season is already fraught with serious drama and crazy and signups haven't even started yet. There's been a lot of wank w/r/t to several exchanges, a bunch of others aren't coming back, and everything just is so STRESSFUL this year. :-( I just want people to have some fun, you know?

And hey if you do sign up for KK and bail on us, I promise not to yell at you or anything. Shit happens. ♥
