I appreciate that each editor has written a big long blog post saying that they're not leaving because of AOL, but I think it's pretty apparent that something is going on (The sheer number of editors leaving at the same time is a little too convenient).
Big corporations change things. They don't want to, but they just can't help themselves. The Engadget guys are probably being asked to fill out quarterly training goals in Excel worksheets and enter their sick days in an IE6-only web app that goes down every day at 6pm for maintenance. Or maybe the editors were "invited" to attend leadership training. There are many kinds of torture that wouldn't encroach on editorial freedom.
"What’s my point? It’s that we don’t take crap from anyone, internally or externally." --- I wonder if it had anything to do with Arrington and TechCrunch.

This looks suspiciously like a new site is about to hatch with a lot of ex-Engadget writers working.
