For all the suspicion and potential conflicts of interest in the past, TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington proves he’s all class, and indeed one of the good guys with this post where he links to a new site called Michael Arrington Sucks. It takes a depth of character to be able to link to something like this, particularly when the combatants are playing the man with the site title as opposed to the site (TechCrunch) itself. Of course the odds are firmly in Arringtons favor given how long other anti-TechCrunch/ Arrington sites have lasted. Perhaps a strategy in turning a spotlight on the new guys, betting that they won’t be able to handle the pressure? who knows, but it will be one to watch. I give them 2 months :-)

It’s sad that some of the people commenting on Mike’s post had to reduce themselves to personal attacks on Mike and his purported relationship with Orli.
Just take the content on face value and critique it on its own merits.
Embracing your neighbor is always good policy.
It’s already fairly light in content :-)
