I don't think you're responding to the question. The Democrats don't disrupt the Republican's conference. If they did so, there'd never be another coalition vote in congress. Instead, they each have their say, one at a time. That's dialogue.
If the Republicans did not invite Democrats to their convention but then demanded a place at the Democratic convention in the name of "fairness", that would be analogous to the present situation.
Microsoft puts on plenty of events to promote its position, and do not invite us. They have a right to do this; nobody here is questioning that. In fairness, we want to have an event that promotes our views.
