This is kind of a pissy, spiteful post. Why would anyone ever take this kind of conflict public ? What does Arrington have to gain by going around jamming his thumb in "old media" eyes ?

I'm going to side on Arrington on this one, even though sometimes, he likes to make a big deal out of something small like removing a few words from his post.

Reminds me of the kinds of posts we saw after the whole CrunchPad/JooJoo thing fell apart.

This sounds like someone at Fortune trying to do something industrious and then getting smacked by the higher-ups.

I wonder how many good ideas are quashed simply because of policy.

> What does Arrington have to gain

A troll, like Arrington, craves and hopes to gain attention. Like all trolls the solution is to ignore him. And quit reading clicking through to techcrunch.
