| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2010 Location: Slovakia | | | I wonder what is so shocking/hipster/grumpy about not being hooked up on FB? I am, but not everybody has to need or enjoy what it has to offer. Just because it is popular, does not mean it is all-round facility for life on the internet or a requirement to be considered 'not grumpy' or 'full of grief'.
Providing information and hosting such a event from other source than Facebook is something I consider not only normal, but imperative for it to have at least some degree of stature. |

If that's "beating him up," remind me not to breathe on you too hard.

Getting a tad annoyed here. I tried to help a fellow TBer, and I got slapped with a number of inappropriate and uncalled-for labels. Not cool.

Unbunch your panties, dear. I used a smilie- indicating a perhaps-weak stab at humor. You're not grumpy, you're really not...
