I went to BlogHer, not Netroots Nation. I thought it was likely to be far more interesting, and regretted that I'd missed previous editions. I'm pretty sure I made the right choice. Definitely something big and important going on there.
While I can understand disappointment with perceived condescension from the Times, I think the most important thing that the BlogHer bloggers -- or any other group that is busy defining itself and presenting its own face to the world via its own media creations -- can do in regard to the Times is stop worrying about what it says. Newspapers are suffering a slow eclipse with all its attendant pains. Bloggers are better off doing their own thing than obsessing over the Times' coverage.
Fortunately, from what I could tell at BlogHer, that is exactly what most of the attendees are busy doing.
