Obama Voter Registration in Austin

Too bad (0.00 / 0)

In reference to the people who actually hit the streets and brought in completed forms: you should have put their full names in your article. (the couple in the middle???)

I guess they have to be a part of the Texans for Obama inner circle for that?

what are you talking about? (4.00 / 1)

first off, if you are just complaining, at least do it constructively, not passive-aggressively.

secondly, this is an open blog. if you are offended by a volunteer's name being missed by another volunteer: a)get over your ego b)find it out and add it yourself.

most importantly, don't pointlessly rag on volunteers and their efforts. this movement depends on people getting out and doing the hard work to turn texas blue, and your insults hurt that, and therefore offend me. don't keep doing that.

thanks

Pretty Lame on your part (0.00 / 0)

Why are you attacking me? If you notice, the only people's names who are mentioned are the same people who you guys recognize over and over again.

You would think that the people who hit the streets and registered the most voters would at least be dignified by having their names put into this piece.

There are thousands of us actively working his campaign, and happy to do so.

Sorry I pissed you off.

you didnt piss me off and i am not attacking you... (4.00 / 1)

you needlessly impugned a volunteer and denigrated their efforts because they happened to miss some names. you can offer criticism, as i said, but make it constructive.

for example, did you email the author of the post and ask if they could add the names?

see, there is no "you guys" in the reasonable sense of the word because it is an open blog. "we" dont ever get together and decide what's what and whose names get mentioned. that's silly. many of thepeople i front page i have never even met! you are now one of the 'you guys' simply by posting here. so, if you see something that needs correcting: correct it.

still not pissed, and i m not sure what in the text implies that i was or am. i can disagree with you and offer what i consider constructive criticism on how you can better interact with volunteers across the blog without being mad at you. i dont even know you and this level of interaction doesnt rise the the value of being pissed at a stranger...

seriously. look here are some emoticons to prove it : )

Ok Mario (0.00 / 0)

Whatever. You missed my point. You do know me and I felt by commenting on this post it would have made it to the author. I just didn't expect you to chime in in such an aggressive way. :)

I won't post anything negative and silly from here on out.
