Despite agreeing with the general concept that we have a problem as hackers with constantly interrupting and clarifying points, I've flagged this post for the following reasons: 1) It shows a real lack of class to call an individual out by name when you're talking about etiquette. Yes, I realize that the title of the article was meant to be attention grabbing--all the more reason to flag it. 2) There's very little context as to what the actual conversation was about. The implication is that there was really no reason for Yehuda (or anyone) to interrupt. But without the real context, I don't know if it was a person butting in trying to look intelligent or a person trying to avoid people at a user group listening to someone suggesting a dangerous technique that shouldn't be allowed to grow. 3) The premise "Let them speak in public; let them be wrong!" is absolutely faulty and the comparison to the Dale Carnegie story was a total straw man. There is a world of difference between correcting someone in polite, social conversation and correcting someone in the context of a presentation in which the attendees may be seeing the speaker as an authority or expert. Now I wasn't there, so I'll neither condemn nor condone the way this was approached--but the article itself is little more than a smear against one person and I find it distasteful.
