Mathew's comments: Sethi: Is Hate Mail 2.0 the best response?

    yeah you are totally correct. i find it hard to believe that a professional would post something like that. what made it worse was that sethi engaged with him on the techcrunch comments section. he made it 1000 times worse. i'm just glad i've never given him any VC money!

    Thanks for the post Mathew. I'm still writing for blognation covering Canada. I think you'd know me if you tripped over me ;).

    Michael didn't post the content from Oliver Starr, I did, and if you check the time stamps Michael was probably asleep when I did. As much as I'm aware of some of the previous issues between Michael and Sam it has nothing to do with me and I made the call alone that the lengthy post/ letter was newsworthy. If you're going to throw stones at least point them in the right direction.

    Duncan, I think we're talking about two different things. The
    reference I made to Mike was in regards to the email he posted back in
    November from Sam, not the stuff you posted from Oliver.

    I actually decided to post this particular missive. More than anything as an object lesson in how trust can break down when communication is, as we say, lax.

    Was this the best path to take from a business standpoint? Probably not. However, as more of these ad hoc media networks start playing in the real world, it seems that there needs to be these kind of touchstones to remind everyone that you can just put a saddle on a Donkey and call it a Horse.
