For the journalists, it would be easy to describe this resentment as simple jealousy. An early example of the Gladwell Tipping Point from The Daily Beast captures that envy; the idea of a magazine writer not named Hunter S. Thompson having honest-to-goodness groupies is just too much, especially when that journalist is rocking the Sideshow Bob look.
Come to think of it, I would love to see what the HST would have written about Gladwell.
