Since I am getting some Web site traffic and a few email messages after this morning's episode, I wanted to close the loop and provide closure on this morning's episode.  Gene is a former member who sent an email this morning to the entire Creative Social Club mailing list saying "Sorry this group is just too weird for me."  I emailed Gene to find out why he left.  It turned out that Gene was offended by a Web site link on euthanasia that was posted in the Ideas section of the Creative Social Club Web site, by this user named "Joey", http://www.meetup.com/members/11714436/.  Unfortunately for Gene, I had to explain that "Joey" was a spambot who had left the same or similar link on the 27 other Chicago Meetup Groups that he had joined overnight, and that I had removed "Joey" from the Club.  Despite clearing up that misunderstanding, I do not believe Gene will be returning to the Creative Social Club.
 
Lessons to be learned for all of us:
  • Do not click a link just because it is given to you.
  • Try to not jump to conclusions.
  • Resist clicking that "reply all" button until you have thought through the message.
I honestly thought Gene left because he didn't like me playing Iyaz.

It's surprising Gene is interested in art or anything creative for that matter. Last time I checked this meetup was called the Creative Social Club not the conservative social club. LOL

I guess Gene didn't like my selection of Blips this morning!
 
Gene's parting shot to the entire Club gives me the chance to remind everybody that our CELEBRATE SPRING Meetup / Tweetup is coming up this Saturday night, 6 - 8 PM, at Murasaki Chicago, http://www.creativesocialclub.com/calendar/12726330/.  We have over 60 people signed up so it will be one of our biggest Meetups yet, including some very cool people from my adventures (and misadventures) on Twitter.  Murasaki Chicago is a wonderful Japanese lounge and this will be an outstanding opportunity to meet other creative, social people!
 
Enjoy the rest of your week,
