I'm been there for the past three years (including Atlanta, which does not have the best reputation - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Atlanta ) - the likelihood of these things happening...?

Lovely! Can I ask muso-questions and have them answered? :D

Nah, I think you have a nice blog on your own. :)

Whoot! :)

Hello again - really need to talk to you if you are keen on doing something - there's a big project that is happening internationally that could very well use your help. :) Thanks, K.

Holy hell.

Where did you come from? Do you do commissions? You're awesome! :D

Hi, I have a site at www.podblack.com and I have a podcast at www.tokenskeptic.org and contribute to the SkepticZone.tv podcast. I'm wondering if it's possible to do something in the future regarding a forthcoming project I have in mind, if you're not too overwhelmingly busy. Thanks and 'wow'! :)

I have had someone viciously and rudely attack me on my site comments because: I pointed out that tickets were on sale and I was still politely waiting for information as to whether a co-presenter and I would be able to present.

They not only lied in their 'anon' message, pretending that they didn't know exactly who the organisers were - they then promptly forwarded their spitefulness to the organisers of the Amazing Meeting to make sure that their belief that both myself and a co-presenter were 'undeserving' of any time was broadcast to as many as possible. Considering the content of my blogpost urged open communication - very much as Sean has done here - well, you make your own mind up about what kind of person they really shown themselves to be... particularly to the co-presenter who had no chance to defend themselves.

On the comments of my blogpost, several others pointed out that in comparison to many people, both myself and the co-presenter had contributed a lot of time, money and effort into skeptical projects, and (ironically!) even volunteered for TAM-events backstage, so we were in no way ignorant to knowing how much work goes into making such an event happen!

There were even a few who said 'yes, I have ALSO applied to present - but unlike you, I have not even got a message back saying "your email was received" - so you are better off already, Kylie!'. To those, I urged them to try contacting the organisers again.

Considering how many people are getting grumpy - I'd like to point out that unquestioning support of the 'how dare you say ANYTHING about the TAMOz or QUESTION any of the organisation' has its dangers too. I say that it's possible and has been shown - that people can be 'a dick' both ways, BastardSheep. :/

Nice. :)

GRRROOOOWWWWLLLLLL Burgess!!! :p
