Forum meeting conversation split from original thread.
The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. -- F. Scott Fitzgerald
nothing wrong with what you said ck, i probably agree with you on some level; it's just the rough way you came out and said "i dont' have time"--i mean..who really does "have time" these days? we find time, and we make time, and obviously you believe you're "too good" to make it to a big forum meeting and rather pick and choose who you're gonna meet and do it on your own chosen time.
again, it's not always what we say but how we say it, and frankly i was surprised at your almost inflammatory remark about not showing up; that's just how you came across....
and yes, you can count on me to dish it out without any b.s.
Hey none of my friends know I "forum". Well except for the 2 automotive forums
And even if Ck felt that she didnt want to go to the "meet" because she didnt have anyone to look forward to meeting, I dont blame her or question her choice. My going is questionable as well because there is only a small handful of people on here I'd be interested in meeting in person. (Some of which are not attending). And NO it doesnt mean I think I'm "too good" for the rest or anything. It only means that I really dont share anything in common with the others, and therefor have no need/ am not curious to meet them in person. (And some of you posters are just down right weirdos)
Nothing wrong with picking and choosing to meet and hang out with certain people you click with. You dont have to go to some mass meet with a little nametag on your chest, and run around introducing yourself to everyone.

My dear, if you seriously read my reply about being a busy person and having "commitment issues" and not being able to "comit" to the forum meeting and the first thing that popped into your head was that I was being 'rough' and snobbish about who I wanted to meet then you clear missed the sarcasm you love to use in your own posts. I was obviously being sarcastic. I already replied once before in the forum meeting thread, here
that I have so many things to do that it is not that I don't want to come to the meeting, as gevo said he simply doesn't want to come. I do, I just can't even get my head around the things I have to do at the moment. And, as I prefer to meet people and get to know them one on one rather than be thrown in with a whole mix of people some of whom I don't mesh well with it does not mean that I am being rude or snobbish and disregarding people and saying I don't want to meet them. Believe me, I can be rather diplomatic but I assumed you would be able to read the sarcasm in my post.
