Dear Gregg Keller
For officially deciding that GOProud can’t take part in an “official” capacity at CPAC, I would like to say to you the following:
A shame. I was actually hoping to attend this year.

- DRJ: Thank you, Simon, and I feel the same about you and your family.
- Simon Jester: I think the world of you, DRJ. Best wishes to you and your family.
- DRJ: Let me put this in a different way that may help you understand my decision, because I think I owe that to you. You and Beldar pontificate. You both spend a lot of time thinking about your positions, analyzing them, and trying to explain them cogently and completely. Remember how frustrated Beldar was when one of his lengthy, thoughtful comments was caught in the filter because of one word? The comment was still there and could have been released, but it was not enough for you or him and I understand why you both felt that way. Others of us don't have as much ability or desire to formulate arguments like that. We see this as a forum to interact, but IMO it has become a forum met with sarcasm and snark unless your opinion agrees with the Trump view. That is frustrating, too, just as much as having a comment caught in the filter ... but it happens a lot more. For me, it was the last straw.
- DRJ: Let them argue that at all those other blogs but not here. It's hard seeing that here and I'd rather not read comments anymore to avoid seeing it go unanswered.
- DRJ: On the plus side, you argued that would happen and did not want Trump to win because of it. But being right seems like small consolation when Trump can act like a Soviet dictator and a commenter can plausibly argue that is what conservatism now stands for.
