I was reading a post over at Steve Gillmor’s Gesture Lab today and I found myself making comparisons between the goings on on the Gillmor Gang and things I remember from primary school. Mike Arrington and Steve are constantly on the edge of leaving. People don’t turn up and don’t say why. Steve wonders at the significance of who didn’t turn up when and whether he will get an e-mail about it. Jason Calacanis is starting his own show and Steve wonders if it will be more popular than his, the insecurity is a mile wide. Hugh Mcleod gets banned for misbehaving.
When the gang do turn up they bicker and I for one don’t enjoy it when they do. I find it so much more listenable where they disagree in an amicable manner rather than acting like spoilt children. I don’t want them to agree, I just want a more pleasant listening experience. I don’t enjoy conflict in my life, however necessary it is, and I don’t want to listen to other’s conflict when I’m trying to be entertained and informed. Don’t get me wrong, the content, when it happens, is top rate and often really funny. I just wish they all would stop acting like little kids sometimes and more like the brilliant insightful creative visionary adults that they show themselves to be in between.
