I'm just starting read my way around so haven't heard much but not surprised the stupidity is going on. I'm with you - good golly could you be more awesome? Loved meeting you, next time: more time and see you next year.
I'm sad that I couldn't go and I think I'd have been intimidated had I gone, but I'm glad you and so many others did get to go. There's always someone out there that has to go and be bitter. It's certainly their loss, not those who attended and enjoyed.
I don't know why anyone would think it was some elitist thing; it sounded fun to me, and I would have gone if I could have. I did see some BlogHerNot stuff, but I thought it was meant to be funny. I look forward to your recap!!!
Hatin the fact that we never got to properly say goodbye!
Other than that? Nothing but good vibes. If the few folks I met were any sampling of the general population people who were there, these haters are blogging out their asses.
Really? I wasn't there - but I've read only the good comments so far. Oh well - some are just freakin' green-eyed monsters. Hope to meet you there next year!
Seriously? Guess it's a good thing I marked all 700 posts in my reader, read. What the hell? I'm super envious that I wasn't able to attend BlogHer. I will totally be there next year! Can't wait to hear your recap and see pics!! Vegas was awesome, but BlogHer would have been freaking fantastical. I would have walked around awestruck feeling like an impostor, but it would have been worth it!
I haven't heard a thing. I'm jealous as hell that I wasn't there and the real reason I just came to your blog is because your shirt in the pictures needs to be mine....LOL! Genius.
But screw the trolls, ghouls, shitheads that wanna start a drama with the blogher. The drama is always so rampant in blogworld. I get haters all the time because I talk about sex. *Gasp*
Love your blog but love your shirt more! :love:

Links? Just so I can rubberneck?
Seriously, I haven't heard one negative thing about the conference and only got wind of the Dooce thing because someone I read shared an item about it in google reader.(Which didn't sound like a big deal?)

Well hell, than I AM a wannabe; I am already thinking I need to start saving my pennies to go next year! I can't wait to hear about your experience.
Yay!!! I finally got to your blog! For the last few days it just wouldn't pull up for me. I saw in my reader that you had some new posts but I just couldn't get it to work. Weehoo!!! So glad my computer is working now. As for the haters, I'm sure they are just jealous. I know I am. :) Glad you had such a great time!
I haven't really read anything bad about it, either. Then again, you're only 1 of about... 3 people, maybe 5, that I know of who actually went! I can't wait to read your experience - and pictures, too! Nice. :)
I do wish I coulda been there, but I'm enjoying everyone's stories and pictures instead of hating! They make me laugh... at least I can live vicariously, right?
This has nothing to do with the post other than I recognized you from the pics on Y's photostream. I was so happy to see you, and so glad to have found you once again. We always seem to fall out of touch, let's not do that again!!
(formerly of mycrazylife, in case you were like WTF?)
What a bunch of arseholes. They are definitely jealous. I feel all proud of you (in a none patronising way) and I can't wait to see pics and hear all about it. Mwah.
Whoa... just to clear the record here, I am mentally buying my ticket for next year before they even plan it. I would have loved to have gone to BlogHer.
There is always gonna be someone looking for drama, you know? I was amazed at how wonderful everyone was, but what I really want to know is how come you always look so damn glowy. It's not fair, how much you glow, dammit.
you can find anyone in a hate group for *anything*. i am quite certain if i googled "i hate puppies" i'd get a fair few hits. and i *so* hate people who hate puppies. oh crap...
that should have been 'you can find "someone" in a hate group for *anything*. i should sleep more before putting stupid comments.
oh and by the way, to answer your question, this particular commenter wants to be referred to as a 'retorter'... or maybe 'backtalker'... no, how about 'craptalker'.
I've been hearing lots of good things! I think I'll start planning for next year now! It seems like a really cool way to meet great people. I'm so glad you had a fun time. Like I always say..."If Maria Y. likes it, than Jill Y. likes it!"
Hear! Hear! *claps wildly* From what I've read, everyone has come back doubting themselves, their blogs, their designs and their nail color. I'm glad you had fun, and yeah. I'm totally jealous.
