If you are faulting others for not cutting down their menu, whether a group or an individual, you need to have been doing so yourself, If anything it is the oppisite. You can cut down your menu. Demanding it from the tzibur at large is not your place. Are you willing to take on your achrius the guy who get's inspiration from the Aguda convention but did not attend this year because it was too low key? Which is the reason Rav Ahron Kotler rejected the push for Aguda conventions being held in cheap, run down, frum owned, Catskills hotels
