Stop!!! There is no Lacygate.
OK. Isn’t anyone going to put a bit of perspective on he whole Sarah Lacy thing?
Look, guys. Drop it. Seriously.
There isn’t a “Lacygate”. Stop postfixing everything you do not like with “-gate”. Now, Allen Stern wants Lacy to apologize.
I, too, was in the room, Allen – mind if I call you Allen?. And I did not walk out of the whole thing red in the face, looking for justice.
I merely felt that there was some joke between Lacy and Zuckerberg and I was not in on the joke. That’s OK, I thought. I’ll get some value from the interview as they move on. Granted, that never happened. Now, I will never be able to tell whether that didn’t happen because this was one of those “zero calories” interviews or because of the heckling.
I do not remember the exact timeline but I am fairly certain that she did not “run to Twitter” to tell us to screw off. I actually believe that writing this presupposes a cognizance of Twitter that she did not, at the time, master.
There is not doubt she reacted badly, but I find it a bit odd, to claim to have lived through this thing as a wronged customer. It was clearly announced that this was *not* going to be a groundbreaking event and, well, it wasn’t. I went to SXSW to learn things and network with other professionals – and party, but don’t tell my boss. Mission accomplished. Everything else should be treated like small potatoes. Because it is. Or it should be.
