I came to a decision

Wow. This is surprising. The LoT has always been the one place I know of on the net that is free of the douchiness of other places we've been. That sucks that some Mojo Lacking Mofo drug such bad vibes in here. I hope they're reading these threads and feeling appropriately unhip.

MMM, if it makes you feel any better I can empathize with you. I've been posting with most of these folks for almost seven years now and still haven't been able to meet them. I see the announcements and wish that I could go and I understand what a bummer it is to not be able to, as well as the somewhat outside-looking-in feelings that go along with that, but don't let that bother you. And don't let anyone who wants you to conform to their way of posting bother you either. This is the LoT, and I've always thought of that as meaning that we have a "LoT" of diversity here and a "LoT" of different ways of looking at things and posting about them. I'm glad that you decided to stay and ignore the douche who wanted to pigeonhole you into posting their way. Swanky is as swanky does, and I think your pretty damn hip for taking the high road.
