I wish Arrington had enough credibility so that I could stand behind him on this without second thought. Having been burned by him in the last.fm case (still no apology), my second thought while reading this was "arrington starting drama again". The first was of course "this is excellent journalism". I wish I didn't have to be conflicted in such a seemingly clear-cut case.
Arrington has an inflated sense of self importance. I'm quite sure that, he too, does not give a hoot about users, just about trumpeting himself. I had the opportunity to interact with him in person back in July and picked up a weird negative vibe and actually felt bad about it. Don't know what it was but the man just reeked of negativity!
