Jesus christ what an asshole. He got scooped by his source so he drags her through the mud. I won't air her dirty laundry, but please speculate and spread rumor amongst yourselves.
I was fine with Techcrunch's increased coverage on BigCos and decreased coverage on startups -- they need to pay the bills, and juicy popular companies get more views than tiny startups. But this is too far. I never assumed that Techcrunch was a strong resource for entrepreneurs, but now they'll throw them under the bus for a blog post.
Right now I'm picturing the worst about someone without details so my brain is just making up things that are probably much worse than anything that actually happened. I didn't much control over that instinct either which is the most annoying part.
