For those that know me knows that I definitely do not have the "hippie/let's all get along/commune for artist" thing. The rocketboom brouhaha is nothing new, its typical business-as-usual. People work together, people disagree, people get angry and lawyers are called. It sucks for everyone involved, but it's also just Life.
I understand here in the age of Web2.0 that transparancy (or the illusion of transparancy, which is what businesses are really doing...showing something but not EVERYTHING), is the new Black, but really, once things escallate to attacks/money/lawyers, throwing barbs into the public sphere is unbecoming for Smart Adults-- WHICH ALL OF YOU ARE. I wish that I could say all of you guys will win in the end, but you know there always has to be a loser. I hope that both winners and losers will keep their dignity and just keep trying to make their work better. That is all I can hope for: interesting work made by interesting people. In the end, though I'm not a hippie, I still like Group Hugs! Group Hug!!!
