Dave Winer in Nashville: A Control Freak In An Out Of Control World
Posted by Stowe Boyd
I noted a small rebound in trackbacks (like Paul Chaney's) linking to the series of pieces I wrote last year about "What's Wrong With BloggerCon?" (see here, here, and here). Apparently, Dave "Poor Impulse Control" Winer spun out of control trying to control what was going on in what turned out to be the ironically named "A Respectful Disagreement" session. This all culminates with an interchange with Glenn Reynolds (see here, and here), who received the same sort of emails that Dave directed at me last year, following my posts about BloggerCon.

First of all, thanks for the mention. Though the well-deserved Dave bashing is about to wind down I have to borrow a theme from an old credit card commercial and say...
Price paid to Dave for leading a session at Blog Nashville: $0
Cost to attend Blog Nashville: $0
Watching Glenn Reynolds walk out of the A Respectful Disagreement session: Priceless!

I wish I could seen that, but then again... I owuld have had to witness the meltdown, and I don't think I could have handled another.
The question is -- with all this turmoil -- what about the next BlggerCon? Should we stay away, to avoid the mess? Or should we go, and try to steer it the right way?
I wonder if the latter option is possible.
