Not Just MAYBE I’m Amazed
Posted by Lynnster on June 6, 2007
Even on this awful day for Nashville and the whole of Tennessee, I continue to be amazed, shocked, and surprised.
Many of Brittney’s biggest longtime and vocal detractors, outright pretty much “enemies”, and people who just in general disagree with her all the time, are some of the same voices in the comments in her Goodbye thread at Nashville is Talking today.
Unless you are aware of who all the usual NIT players are, you won’t likely know or be able to all that easily pick out who those people are. Because the detractors and “enemies” and disagreers are basically saying most of the same things the others who are hating to see her go are. Most of them are showing an appreciation of what she has done for Nashville and the regional blogging community and her work with NIT in general just like the people who have always liked or agreed with her or been her friends are, and most of them are expressing sorrow at her resignation as well.
That to me speaks MANY more volumes about Brittney Gilbert and her work with NIT than anything.

Seriously. I’m not always up on NiT (what with the not really living in Tennessee and all), but I know enough to know where the lines are drawn, and the community of it is amazing. You just don’t see that all the time. People who violently disagreed with her on almost everything are still sad to see her go, because she did a good job. Color me in awe.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Mag. You know you and Brev have all of our undying respect and much love from this side of the country! Well, most of us anyway. ;)

*laughs* I’ll be sure to tell him!
And y’all are always welcome if you should happen to find your way to this coast. Our guest room might not have a bed, or a couch, but the carpet is comfy and we’ve got a lot of blankets. ;)
