i'm used to speaking with tech people, trolls, and reporters. trolls i block. tech people and reporters are usually interested in well-formed positions and linear arguments, even if adversarial. but this was politics. it was chaotic, it was nebulous, it was manipulative.
a few people have said the moderators were not prepared, which is of course true. this was meant to be a broad conversation on the city, and a fun experiment. chesa arrived and we adapted, i thought fairly — ask questions, and let the man, who did exhibit some bravery, speak.
while the chat was exciting, and at times illuminating, we were definitely too accommodating, a mistake i will not make again. and btw i’m not apologizing for failing to navigate 3,000 opinions in the middle of what was, frankly, an overwhelming situation.
still, while i was disheartened by last night’s political cynicism, in some significant sense it was obviously a great success. thousands of people showed up for a peek into our city's russian nesting doll of disasters, and to find a way forward. that's a kind of hope. onward!
