However I disagree that it was your fault, Chris. Jason simply is not flexible at all in thinking and for example he keeps lies about me on his blog although I totally sorted out the misunderstanding with Russell. I think that instead of being angry, Jason should hire Dave Winer as consultant/adviser for Mahalo ;-) Chris, I totally agree with you that Dave Winer’s behavior at Gnomedex 2007 was fine and dandy.

Dave Weiner is very strong willed and direct, and 2. Jason has a fantastic capacity to deal with attacks, and strong willed people. Gnomedex is a venue where it's ok to be strong willed, or opinionated, unlike SXSW it seems. Twitter made it feel like we were all involved, engaged, and I'm looking foreword to twittering from Gnomedex again. See ya there.

There could be some great psychological studies on the effect. Real time critiques are new to almost everything but sports. So someone goes into a room and reads people saying "this sucks" or whatever and preconceptions are formed and it gets magnified as it spreads. I've noticed this affect with ratings. I'm more likely to rate something higher if I noticed other people are rating it higher and vice versa, like on Netflix, Amazon, or blog polling. It's an interesting effect, social proof.
