It is perfectly fine to discuss or question any of this.  You are not
doing this, however.  You have asserted that the ICCA officers stayed in
swank hotels (4-5 star) and took swank flights (club class).  That is an
unfair place to start, since these are just guesses on your part, it
would be better if you started by presenting some facts.

Jaap stayed in the Hotel Brighton, it is a 3-star hotel, and a single
room costs about $100 a night, according to the email they sent to us
about hotels.

I don't know where the others stayed, or how much they spent getting to
the tournament.

Neither do you, which is why I think it is irresponsible of you to
speculate.

It is also waste of my time to argue with you when you present no facts.
 If you are going to be so lazy about this, it isn't worth it to
continue.

By way of comparison, my hotel was 2 stars, it cost about $50 a night
(paid by me, of course), and featured doors that wouldn't open all the
way because they bashed into furniture, a shower with no curtain, a
bathroom with no door, and extremely thin walls.
