For the first time, I have seen someone calling his ultimate boss "Fuck you" on Twitter. Tim Anderson and AOL have handled this situation in the worst possible manner, but it is sad to see people questioning Arrington's ethics over this matter. TC (for that matter, anything popular) draws a lot of different opinions, but no one can deny that Arrington and TC have done startups a lot of good.
Will TC be the same now ? I don't know. The fact that Mike is no longer at the top, controlling things, makes me feel that AOL may misuse TC. Why did Arrington have to involve AOL in this deal is beyond my understanding ? He has enough repute to set up a VC fund on his own.
Arrington has owed up to his mistakes in the past, and I hope he is writing a post explaining how he plans to handle the conflict of interest between AOL, CrunchFund and TC.
