Anyone who believes - or worse, touts - that fallacy doesn't know jack sh!t about blogging. I'm also feeling a bit naive myself for having responded politely to an invitation for an event in New York - sending my regrets as I didn't expect they planned to fund my transportation - since I've gotten no response in return (neither "So sorry for our mistake!" nor "We're sending the private jet!"). Seems we can't win. If we're polite, we get walked on. If we call bullsh!t, we get castigated. <abbr><em>mothergoosemouse´s last blog post..<a href="http://mothergoosemouse.com/2008/11/05/anybody-else-just-relieved-that-this-elections-over/" rel="nofollow">Anybody else just relieved that this election’s over?</a></abbr></em> Thanks for bringing Sara’s posts to my attention, even though they reminded me once more of how much I hate the false analogy of bloggers = journalists.

I’m also feeling a bit naive myself for having responded politely to an invitation for an event in New York – sending my regrets as I didn’t expect they planned to fund my transportation – since I’ve gotten no response in return (neither “So sorry for our mistake!” nor “We’re sending the private jet!”).

Seems we can’t win. If we’re polite, we get walked on. If we call bullsh!t, we get castigated.

The charity involved is actually one which is very dear to me. But since I live in the Midwest, I didn't like being invited to an event across the country that the PR person was obviously not going to send me to. I quite frankly didn't get the point of this (and similar pitches). <abbr><em>Leeanthro´s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SoyIsTheNewBlack/~3/440647904/save-tree-save-as-pdf.html" rel="nofollow">Save a Tree, Save as PDF</a></abbr></em> I received that same pitch, not once, but twice.

I followed the link to Sara's blog and the comments over there (the "real" ones) show that bloggers are clearly struggling with these issues as well. Looking forward to the next installment.
