I know I'm new here, but I was at Minecon with my kids and was at the Yogscast panel. They dropped one f-bomb at the end when they were goofing on a standard bit they do, according to my son, but it wasn't in an offensive manner, everyone laughed (it was Vegas after all).
I've seen the Yogs response and agree with alot of what they said. The event was horribly unorganized, but understandable considering it was the first time they had put something like this together. They should have used professional event planners. Most of the YouTubers had to provide their own security because they were getting completely mobbed everywhere they went. A friend of mine was volunteer staff and said they had to escort Notch everywhere. Most of the volunteer staff was busy controlling the lines and keeping people from getting hurt when they would try to cut in lines or push to the front of crowds.
I can say first hand that it was chaos trying to get into any of the panel sessions. As soon as the doors opened, people would push and shove and run to get the best seats. That being said, we had a great time. We got autographs from Notch and most of the Mojang team, who were very gracious, and from Yogscast as well. I liked Lewis and Hannah very much, but Simon not so much. My opinion. I also agree that there may have been a communication problem between Notch and Yogscast and he didn't get their humor. I can't imagine how overwhelmed they all must have been being in that environment to begin with and having so much chaos on top of it. I hope it passes soon and we can focus on happier things - like playing minecraft.
