[...] whole story has erupted into a virtual firestorm on a number of sites. Arrington published his side of the story to CrunchNotes and was heavily criticised for publicising what I imagine started out as private [...]

[...] Some people have commented on TC and to me via IM regarding the announcement that they find it a bit odd that Mike B would come back given all the hoopla/drama that surrounded the TC closure last December. It looks like the post has been removed from the UK site, but there appeared to be a large number of UK loyals mad at the entire situation. Butcher posted his side of the story and I can only guess that Butcher made certain editorial and monetary demands this time around. Arrington did note that he was "sorry to see" Butcher get caught up in the mess. In my opinion, so much of the mess could have been avoided if the disagreement was taken offline. [...]

[...] I thought I would miss the end of the Gang more than I have. Mike Arrington s flareup with Sethi and his revolving news desk door would have made for a lively session or two, but Mike s week-later wrap of the Sethi situation blew away the bullshit and out-ValleyWagged Denton to boot. I ve been pitching in with Jason to tighten up his Cast for the Kids, letting me troll the blogosphere for news bites without having to work too hard or miss the roundtable so much. I spent a great three days or so with Doc, Phil Windley, Kaliya, Dick Hardt, and Kim Cameron among others in the Identity Workshop, talked with Mike Vizard and Dana Gardner intermittently, and watched Robert Anderson and Cori Schlegel cross the line and merge GestureBank with the AttentionTrust only a few weeks behind schedule. And Gabe Rivera chimed in a few days ago in email asking what it would look like if I resurfaced. An eight-foot invisible rabbit. Rashi [...]

LOL, what a bunch of kids, your professional reps are at stake so if neither of you take it to court then there is an admission of guilt IMHO.

One of you is a liar and only a court will set that straight so till then both you and your blogs are tarred with the same brush.

The problem here is that Sam has right. The conferece was a spoof and a egocentric showoff for Luic. He wanted politicians, we wanted innovative net solutions. So he deserved the critique and more. He wasted our time and money. Of course we will not attend LeWeb4.

I am convinced now more than ever that if these are the kind of problems you have, you all have way too much money. The ‘haves’ crack me up. Where’s Rodney when you need him?

“Sam has launched a new site covering European startups. He has a well designed site, and sponsors. After one week.

That tells me that this was all planned long ago, and Sam took this opportunity to create incredible buzz for himself. At my expense. At Loic’s expense.”
