“…but I think the event itself was not uncalled for and is an important example that audiences are no longer passive. You can’t just cram what you want down their throats without consequence.”

That is kind crap isn’t it? Audiences were never passive. Put on a bad show to a paying audience and you may get jeered or heckled or have tomatoes thrown at you if old movies are to be trusted. Seriously, just because it is in a twitter “backchannel” doesn’t make it new and groundbreaking behavior. It is as old as could be. You guys heckled a presenter, maybe acted a bit like jerks, but you think he deserved it.
