I guess basic decency would be too much to ask for from Scoble, or from an SXSW audience:

I'm going to try to interview Sarah Lacy, and I''ll apologize for my part in being an audience asshole, but I''ll also explain to her why I'd do it again. I hate being captive in an audience when the people on stage don''t have a feedback loop going with the audience. We're used to living a two-way life online and expect it when in an audience too. Our expectations of speakers and people on stage have changed, for better or for worse.

Here's a thought: if you don't like the way a talk, interview, or presentation is going, then get up and leave. It might be the case that other people in the audience are enjoying it, and by being a jerk you're ruining it for them. Do you yell in movie theaters, too? Who died and made you god?

Perhaps the "Dave Winer, center of the universe" problem is contagious.
