If you're already a part of a clique, perhaps itâ€™s not so fresh, but then you've got people like me:

I've been in Phoenix for 3 years and am only now motivated to explore and meet people. Adjusting from the east coast wasnâ€™t easy for me.

I never used to be a community person. I worked, occasionally hiked, watched TV, played WoW, went to bed - just like most of the general population. Supporting my community never occurred to me. (despite my parents owning their own deli for 30 years)

The event was an eye opener. People passionate about things big and small, optimistic, genuinely friendly. I absolutely loved it. I didn't assume the speakers were scholars, but I enjoyed hearing the different perspectives. I also liked that every age group was represented - singles, families, senior citizens - all sharing a common interest.

Perhaps this event isn't as challenging to those on the inside, but I'm someone on the fringes, and it was a great introduction to what this town has to offer.

I don’t care that I pissed you off and I certainly don’t want to work with someone like you on any event, now or in the future.

I’m only interested in learning from the smart people, not the ones who hang around and volunteer their time in an effort to collect people.

Don’t being to lecture me on how I should earn respect. I don’t remember asking you.

No, the above reflects my rebuttal to your comments. Your association to the “loop” or “group” likely didn’t factor in to your comments. Nor mine. Inside, outside, bystander… none of these terms have much meaning anymore. I don’t have much comment for your feeling of being ostracized. I can say that you were and still are one of the “original” community members/organizers, though that certainly didn’t temper my response.
