Thanks Trix (aka NoraBell) ;-)

Glad you'll be there to enjoy it for a bit, Chopper. I'd hate for that slime to have kept anyone away.
Lucky for me I don't look like a Trix. Besides, I'll have my mother with me for protection. ;-)

I had to dump Trix because I was having Discus issues. The Geeky Swedes suggested a moment of silence. ;-)
I'm now borrowing my cat's name. See ya there!!
Oh, and I really hope the comments from that no account slimeball won't keep anyone away.

Some know who I be, I have no choice but to trust them, and leave it at that for now.

F*ck the haters, Chopper. Come on down.

Will you introduce yourself as chopper so we know who ye be? :) haha

…yikes! Wrote this after reading all the crud below. That said, screw whoever did that and come anyway. :)

For what it's worth, I didn't see it as rude or offensive, just your opinion.
I'd guess that the delete key is on a hair trigger right now, and for good reason. I'm still stunned with what some folks will say and do to mess up a good thing. They've managed to mess it up for me, anyway.
I think that community gatherings are essential.
Get together, have fun. Bring your best to the table.

Yikes. I hope my comment wasn't seen as rude or offensive since it was deleted. My sincere apologies if it was. I was only trying to joke that people aren't always who you think they might be…especially on the Internet. That's the beauty of meeting members of our community (online and off) face to face.

Thank you, Hiddoo.
I should have explained myself better.
I take stuff pretty seriously as it is, but now I have to be more aware, and less available.
Thank you to The Swedes for the quick reaction to the hate.

In case any of you are wondering what C-74 is talking about, there were a string of nasty comments for a short time this morning to pretty much every post. The posts were vulgar, rude, and way beyond what most people would find disgusting. There were also some threatening words regarding Chopper. Really sick comments and I'm thankful they were deleted so quickly. That said, nice idea for Tuesday, Geeky Swedes. I'll try to stop by. And Chopper, I don't know you, but I'm sorry for the hateful words. Pathetic.

I'm looking forward to meeting even more of you than I've already met!

By: chopper_74

chopper_74 — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 23:43:03 +0000

Well, I'd like to know what that was all about.
Anyway, it's better that I don't show up.
My e-mail is full of pathetic, hateful responses.
Fortunately, they were removed from here, but cannot be removed from my mind. Some of you are sick as hell.

Name tags with blog names–good idea. There'll be a few surprises I'm sure. See ya there!

By: Trix

Trix — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 07:50:42 +0000

Oh, no, I'll identify myself with the official salute.

Should we wear name tags so we know who the fascists are?

Okay, you found a way to get me out on a Tuesday night.

Very cool, I'll do my best to slip down there for a bit!

I hope to make it down with Nathan to thank the Geeky Swedes in person for publicizing his lemonade stand last week! Sounds like a good time!

Awesome – will our resident drug dealers be in attendence with discounts on their wares as well?

In all seriousness, I hope to make this!
