The world according to Michael Arrington

14.01.2011

Engadget in the comments field of Business Insider, saying (in part):

I haven't heard a shred of substance behind your attacks -- only the vitriol of a man-child who can't control himself. "Immensely unethical"? Explain it.

You don't just get to say whatever you want to whomever you want. That may fly in your bubble, but I live in the real world.

Arrington couldn't stop at shredding Engadget for imaginary crimes against blogmanity, though. He also ripped his new masters a new one, calling AOL (He denies he was referring to AOL with that last jibe, though not very convincingly.)

The folks at Business Insider -- whom I imagine gathering around the computer screen with bowls of popcorn and boxes of Milk Duds, waiting for the next outburst -- theorize this is Arrington's fiendishly clever way of getting AOL to fire him before his three-year sentence is up, while still owing him the millions they promised him after the end of his contract.
