Does that make me (and Joss too I guess) some kind of terrible wrong person?

If it makes it any better though, I didn’t tip. But that’s because I’m English and I just forgot

I think some people just want to hang out at the Hyatt bar with their friends and pros but feel guilty about it, so instead of a) really protesting or b) going to one of the dozens of much cooler bars in San Diego instead, they’ve come up with this idea so they can drink there without feeling like they’re compromising their principles.

So…this would be a protest that would annoy the Hyatt customers, possibly drive away or negatively impair Hyatt’s business, give them bad publicity and would make them uncomfortable. You’re right. God forbid people be made uncomfortable by a protest!

I think you may have missed the point of the whole endeavor.

Spurgeon was funny, though.

You know..all those idiotic leftist causes. But if I like the product, why wouldnt I frequent those places. Well…cause I’m ACTUALLY tolerant while I preach it less. While others (apparently our hostest included- sadly) PREACHES it and practices it less.

I’ll not only make a point to frequent the Hyatt MORE, but will promote it every chance I get.

THANKS! AND HAVE GREAT CON EVERYONE.

The Prop 8 is going to a vote. The best thing anyone can do, the most effective and immediate influence anyone can have is not a boycott, not a fundraiser, not a protest, not a wedding… but rather GET A CALIFORNIAN TO VOTE ON THIS.

I’m not sure what “teh ghey” is, but my problem would be with some kind of visual demonstration at the Hyatt. The vast majority of people don’t want to see a bunch of angry nerds yelling and waving signs outside of their hotel room. Prism Comics has a booth inside the show, and they are probably looked upon by most people as any other independent publisher. There’s a huge difference between a legitimate business at a booth inside a convention center and a bunch of obnoxious protesters marching outside your hotel.

The best way to voice your concern would be to not give the Hyatt your business, like many others have said. Protesters only make people angry, and not for the right reasons. People who see protesters waiving signs won’t care one ounce what some CEO decides to do with his money. The only thing they will get angry about is that they have to wade through a bunch of angry nerds if they want to go to their room.

That’s what would drive families (and many other people) from the show. Just tell your friends not to go the Hyatt bar for drinks.

I don’t understand those who aren’t tolerate - but I won’t be intolerant to them. Look forward to seeing you all at the show.

In my defense, I was writing really quickly so I could get back to plotting the downfall of working class people.

I am sure if we looked hard enough all the owners of all the hotels hold some political view with which we do not agree. And that they all have people working for them in some capacity who need the money. I can’t imagine anything more beside the point, but I also can’t imagine anything more Sisyphean than convincing the people that think these are relevant points otherwise.

Is your problem with the protest or with teh ghey?

Because Prism Comics has had a booth at the con for over 5 years now and con attendance certainly hasn’t suffered because of it.
