Definitely. I would just like to see everyone get over it.

Agreed here as well.

I would go there, too, if I would live nearby (and had time this
weekend), or had bought the tickets already. SF and the Bay area is
definitely a nice place to be, anyway :-)

I just found it sad that he took the first opportunity to continue his
"thing" - he seems unable to recognize that he won't change a thing
this way; personally, I find it just annoying. I got along with him
very well in real life, though, too.
If you are unhappy with what Haiku Inc. does, taking your part in their
actions will work out much better than complaining about the work its
members are carrying out voluntarily. From my POV, FalterCon evolved
into just that - taking action to improve where others dropped the
ball.
Bye,
