Doc,
If someone -- anyone -- sat down uninvited at my laptop, and started using it, then refused to get off when I got back, I would reach over, hit the kill button, then look at the dude, smile and say, "I guess I shoulda password-protected before I walked away." It would not matter whether it was at CPAC or wherever. I don't care how silly McCullough normally is, what Fund did was wrong. NOBODY uses my writing laptop, but me, except when cleared well in advance.
And please note, I would not complain about someone using my laptop. Just turn it off, if they do not get off immediately.
It *is* mine, after all.
One thing that's bogus, the "credentials" BS. All it said was "Bloggers Row". For a million dollars, you couldn't get anyone to tell you who they were or what you had to do to be on that riser.
The other thing is Kevin implies is that Fund knew he shouldn't be there. That's bogus. There's been internet access at CPAC for years and it has evolved to more people not less. Fund didn't pull a "Don't you know who I am?" to butt in, unlike Kevin's email to me which started off with "I'm a friend of Ann Coukter's" (wearing her higher rank instead of his own) instead of a logical argurment about what he might have found objectionable about the post.
Kevin's the one given to the "Don't you know who I am" type pushiness.
