Okay so…. in saying this “I have been a tireless worker for WordPress and WP community since 2008.
The DFW WordPress Midcities Group that I organize is the *only* WP
Meetup in this area sponsored by the WordPress Foundation.”… *only*…. hummmm who said there couldn’t be more than one. Someone needs to come down off their high horse. No one has the market on WordPress or anything else. All it takes is to rub the wrong person… the wrong way. In this age of electronics… the last thing you need to do is write something that can easily be shared by others. It really makes her look like an ass!

Great post! I received one of those lovely e-mails last night, and immediately wondered why it took her six months to get around to responding to the post…

I hate when national caliber speakers want to speak at word camp, then we get all bogged down with value when we should really be selling pandas

At least it’ll make for an interesting story during your upcoming talk at WordCamp San Francisco!

Hey, just thought I’d chime in. While I’m honored (and extremely grateful) for folks to have my back, I don’t want this conversation to grow legs and run all crazy-like through the halls. There’s enough drama in the world without me piling on.

That’s really strange, to mail all commenters on a post. Never heard of such a behavior!

SO glad you posted this!
I got a message last night via Facebook and was floored. I literally sat there thinking, “Really? Who DOES that?”

We all make mistakes and do dumb things. This was a HUGE opportunity to correct a stupid choice, own the ass-hat-ness of the behavior and move on.
The crazy thing is when I read Carrie’s post and commented I didn’t give it another thought. I thought Carrie handled it like a champ.
There’s a fine line between using your voice and being a douche.

You know, I guess most people are used to seeing their own name in reference to someone else, but I have to admit that this is a new experience for me.
