What I think happened is that Darragh short-circuited. It's happened to all of us: Circumstances pile up until we can't deal with the last one. I'm sure it's happened to you, too. And rather than admit she blew a gasket, Darragh presented an apology with an excuse that makes her look better than the real reason for the oversight. Again, we've all done this (except for you perfect ones out there). Unless there are a ton of other terrible things that Darragh's done, I think you should consider saying that mistakes were made on both sides, and letting bygones be bygones. That is what mature people do, if the situation warrants it. Larry, I admire both you and Darragh. What I think happened is that Darragh short-circuited.

By the way......everything is about ego with Larry. Check him out, I did, you might be surprised at what you find. Goodbye Larry How many readers do you have left? They seem to be leaving in droves......lol That can be arranged.

For god's sake cut Darragh some slack. She's been burning the candle at both ends and has been for months. Alienating her is not a good move as she has a lot of supporters who don't take kindly to this type of thuggery. Your ego has definitely taken over. For god’s sake cut Darragh some slack.

I am here in Denver, and I've been privy to all the work Darragh has done to make this happen. She has been doing the work of a dozen people, setting this up, making it happen here on the ground in Denver. If I had her responsibilities, I'd have collapsed by noon two weeks ago. When it comes right down to it, having seen the superhuman effort she is making here, the person I'm going to side with in this petty manufactured dispute is Darragh. She's been opening an office, coordinating a film screening and media event and rally, giving interviews, arranging for transportation and housing and resources for a hundred people, and generally taking responsibility for ten thousand details. I tell you what, Larry, when you have done what she has done, then you can criticize. You're not here on the ground in Denver organizing and energizing and directing a hundred people, you're sitting on your ass blogging. So she missed a deadline. So she missed some phone calls. She's still done a million times more than you have, and her credibility is perfectly intact. Yours? Not so much. I’ll tell you who is classless and immature, and it’s not Darragh Murphy.

For example, I don't need to know the color of your shit today, but I wouldn't accuse you of covering up that information. There is also such a thing as too much honesty, as in "it's just not necessary". What you call truth and honesty can translate into pure pettiness, so thanks for the invite to go elsewhere.

Doing this publicly is classless and unprofessional. You could have cut her off, and not have aired this for all to see. All it's done now is undermine you, Darragh, and all you are striving for. Why shoot yourself in the foot just to prove a point. Stupid, stupid, unnecessary, and above all childish! Now all who are working against your message will have fodder to feed on. Stupid!

I wish someone would have done something. I stayed, but ended up just going ahead with what I was going to do after the show and set up my new router and the wireless cards for the laptops and PCs. I had a hard time getting registered on that site. Everything I chose for a display name was taken. But, I figured if I'm going to go and listen to the shows I should just go ahead and register/join in on the conversation. I'm really sorry that happened and understand your anger, maybe if you sat down and did a one on one with her...? She may be finding it hard to be thrust into the limelight. What about adding an extra link for donations to help fund the shows? So you don't get stuck with that extra cost all on your own. You had to pay for that time slot Larry?

This is about Darragh lying. The producer contacted her at 9:10. At this point there had been dead air for 10 minutes. She screamed in surprise when we reminded her of her show, and then *click* the phone went dead. We spent the next hour trying to reach heer, asking her to call in, reading the host number and PIN over the phone to her voicemail, and all the while hosting the chat room and giving people updates. And nothing from Murphy -- she never picked up during the dozen times we called her, never called us back, nothing. And then at 10:15pm suddenly there she is on her own blog, saying "sorry, guys." So, if you think this is just a simple matter of being disoriented in a different time zone then think again. Darragh is classless and immature. She can go behave like this somewhere else. I want folks capable of acting like responsible adults. This is not about male ego. This is about Darragh lying. The producer contacted her at 9:10.

This is not a one time event. There is no side to hear. She agreed to appear at a particular time. In fact, the producer of the show did manage to reach her. She promised to dial in and did not. And then she refused to answer her phone. If you think that is acceptable behavior then you can host and pay for her radio show. I won't do it and there is nothing more I want to do with her.
