According to TPM, Eli Pariser was meant to post here to discuss MoveOn.org's 10th year and its past and future impacts on the progressive movement.  Since the debate this week was largely about whether MoveOn is a genuine movement that empowers individual progressives or is a typical, top down marketting or lobbying organization, having Pariser here to join the discussion and to engage with TPM's readers was of paramount importance.

I understand that Pariser is busy.  It's an election year.  MoveOn is a big organization.  But, come on.  If MoveOn wants those of us in the netroots or in the wider progressive world to believe that it can or will be responsive to our ideas than Pariser should make darned sure to not only show up in forums like this one but that he engages with the readers and not just the writers that TPM invited to dicuss his organization on the main page.

Absent a good explanation (and maybe there is one) it seems like Pariser dissed us.  What gives?
