Mike Arrington Introduces Us To the "First F*ucking Amendement"

Then you should probably stop f*cking Arrington.

I'm not some Arrington fan, and I try to stay away from Beta's posts; but, if you watched the TCDisrupt coverage, Arrington was trying to invest in just about everything.

It's considered bad form to have profanity in headlines. Of course, having a minced oath like f*ck in its place kinda defeats the point...

I'd rather not have sensationalized headlines, but oh well.

Clbuttic problem of different (and sometimes hard to understand/judge) case of NSFW regulations maybe?

It makes no sense to me either, though.

And, of course, the submission title uses the entire word AND the asterisk, which is perhaps an attempt to poke fun? Or just a funny mistake.

Let's not get into name-calling. I think HN usually agrees that despite his personality Arrington did definitely have the skills and contacts it took to "rise to the top" and carve out a niche for himself. If we choose to disagree with how he's using that advantage, we should come up with better and more constructive criticisms, perhaps discussions on how to ensure that publications like TC don't monopolize the tech journalism market at least in the Silicon Valley (people often forget how much of an echo chamber the Valley produces, even more so because of how closely everyone is connected through Twitter/Facebook/Google+ etc.).
