He's not a journalist and many may see that as a bonus. Like Sam, and many others who attended LeWeb3, I was frustrated by the level of the conversation during the event and I believe his post was accurate. However, I also understand why Loic headed in the direction he did. It was a bit of an ego fest but aren't all these things? The person who will suffer most from all of this is Michael Arrington and TechCrunch. Looking for positives out of it all I would suggest that we develop a TechCrunch2.0 in the UK with UGC - I for one am willing to sponsor an event in the north of England. Regards Hi Ian,

Arrington needs to seriously get a grip - he comes out like a complete control freak from these stories. Just got a hold of this story and like you say WTF!?

Except it is real people's livelihood that is at stake. Totally right about the censorship, Carlo, as was Mike! “Mess” is the right word. Except it is real people’s livelihood that is at stake.

Totally right about the censorship, Carlo, as was Mike!

Personally I think that blocking the comments on a blog is, in most of the cases, bad things. It is a blog and everyone is responsible for what he/she writes. If Loic wouldn't have written that comment, it would be easy to prove. I personally support Mike Butcher, also because in his post he has been quite correct... and also because, as I have already told, I don't believe in comment censorship. Cheers Carlo The entire story has been quite a mess.
