 <html>@&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/2043&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;Christopher Bell&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname&quot;&gt;mrdragon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; I really respect @&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/488&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;Purple Tinker&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname&quot;&gt;purpletinker&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; for everything she's done. She's practically made ponies and bronies her life.  And I also respect @&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/1&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;Pony Cabal&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname&quot;&gt;cabal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and his decision not to attend. He had allegiances elsewhere before ponies and I find it highly noble of him to put something he cares about so greatly ahead of this community for it's eventual good. Is it rather sad that the founder and creator of one of the most popular pony social networking sites won't be at the worlds first large scale brony convention? Sure, but that's really his prerogative to boycott anything that associates itself against his ideals, and to be totally honest, I really don't blame him.</html>
