gotta love the mob mentality

Not knowing anything at all, really, of PantheaCon...I decided to ask. Got one beneficial answer and then this idiot: Clicky!

I don't know jack about hunting someone down by their IP address and usually don't even bother to try, but my curiosity got the better of me so I popped onto Google to see what I could see.

All of that aside, I'm not sure that it is the convention for you. I'm going for the first time this year. It isn't sci-fi/fantasy at all, it is a religious convention. I imagine that some of the bad feeling came from you not having read about the con at the website, but just asked for someone to spoon feed it to you. I don't know who the heck in Georgia would have anything to say on the matter, but as much as it may be all misunderstanding, you've got kind of a bad reputation at BayCon.

It precedes you now and the communities have people in common who will know it. I wish it were different or that I could show people how I see you, but intentions aside (because I believe the majority of the time, if not all the time your intentions are good), you have made bad impressions with people. I don't think there's any changing it- you are you and have made decisions about how you wish to conduct yourself and others make their choices, too. I generally try to not sweat the small stuff, especially when it comes to other people (my own neuroses often have me sweating my own small mistakes) and I think that is why I am who I am and tend to make friends wherever I go (except up here in Washington- here it's just some places).

Believe me, if I could change the perceptions I would. I know you have a warm heart and just want to be friendly, but that is not how everyone sees you, sadly.

1) the main community link to the website wasn't working so I informed the moderator about it, and showed them the updated link; I've read the website; was kinda hoping for a more personal touch.

2) wasn't thinking convention to regularly frequent but might be cool to check out. Like FurCon, which I usually only ever go for 1 day of.

3) yeah, I knew that much, religious angle. that's actually one of the reasons it sparked my interest.

Yeah, kinda gotten used to the false advertising but it still irks me at times.
