C.J. You are right. I am going back to the old way of commenting. This sucks.

It’s a friggin’ party!!
People who don’t like each other can fight in the street and then do a shot together afterward..
SHEEESHHHHHHHHH.
Even the PS people that supposedly despise me, I’d still drink with every damn one of them….
So I bog, and I post on PDC.
I post on SpeakUpWNY, too, and the Buffalo Bills Msg board, the buffalo Sabres, Truckers Road, OK Cupid, and whole TON of places, so I guess I’m REALLY open for abuse.
I’ll be there!!!

Actually, I think I was responsible for organizing a couple of them. Does that make me a dictator too?

A name tag? Great, now you’re gonna go and label me.. hahahaha That’s ok, they’ve been doing it for years. I’ll wear you’re label proudly and be there with bells on.

Christi: Everyone is welcome. It’s a joint “BlogPeoria/PeoraDotCom” event in that I posted announcements on both sites. I could have posted it elsewhere and it would have been a “BlogPeoria/FarkParty” event.

It’s going to be held IN A BAR. Anyone can show up.

There is going to be one difference: Everyone will be given a name tag.

Ooooh… Billy, what fun you’re having. I didn’t know I was missing out on so much. I really need to try to get in here more often. So, let me get this straight. Is this a blogger bash where all people are invited, or is this a blogger bash where all people are invited unless you post at Peoria.com? Because I got to say, it seems to me that everyone’s good to go with the whole combined concept until they are faced with the possibility of the dreaded PdC clan showing up. Now (hanging head very low…. RIGHT!!!) being as I’m one of the dreaded PdC posters referred too, I’m confused?!?! What’s the big deal? Seems there’s an awful lot of blanket hatred going on here and that totally blows me away.

And Jill,
”But I hate sites that disallow civil discussion while allowing people to casually toss out anti-homosexual rhetoric, allow the use of the term “mulatto” and promote anti-Muslim sentiment…”

I have no clue as to what you’re referring too. In my immediate family I have both biracial and homosexual relatives. I’d be the first to be offended over such discussions. What are you talking about girl?

Lastly, Billy… there are people who will hate and judge no matter what you try to do. Personally, I’d rather attend a gathering with bloggers of all sites regardless of their differing opinions than one that promotes censorship and frankly anytime you have a mentality of wanting to prohibit any discussion regardless of whether or not we like the topic, its censorship plain and simple. I respect your ability to accept those opinions and darn it, even if I hadn’t planned to be there, I will now. You know me Billy, I just LOVE going where I’m not welcome.

Thanks!

Christi
