Paul Carr resigns from TC

Getting sick of this melodrama.<p>Where can I find <i>tech news</i>?

This guy Paul is good for writing sensational hollywood stories. "Sneaky editor conspires with Lady Evil to overthrow St. Arrington". His TC column was always sub-par self-promotion. His Guardian column was better. You 'd think writers get better with time.

I don't have any personal vindication towards any of these journalists, but I don't understand why it's a big deal that the editor of TechCrunch resides in New York. Didn't Arrington himself move to Seattle before the sale?

In the end, Paul seems to me just another pawn who doesn't understand the game he's in—not even who's on whose team.<p>There are two teams in this game: Team Multimillionaires On Their Way To Be Billionaires and team Clueless Minions. Guess which team Mike and Arianna are on?<p>On second thought, chances are Paul just understood what it was all about and found his way out as a fake kamikaze who gets to leave with all the suicide bomber honours and yet stay alive and well—which I wish him he does.

Erick's rebuttal post was pathetic. I'm not sure why editorial independence matters when the voice of TC is that of a teenage girl's diary.

Eric's response: "I accept your resignation @paulcarr. Nice timing to post that while I am on a plane. You are a misinformed coward."<p><a href="http://twitter.com/#!/erickschonfeld/status/114839470183944193" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/#!/erickschonfeld/status/1148394701839441...</a><p>The saga rolls on..

This ain't tech/startup/hacker news

Will all the old writers leave to form another site, like the Engadget team did?

MG leaves in 5...4...3

TechCrunch: I don't read it much but Arrington and Co. did seem like a bunch with good things to say.<p>Has it now been defanged or?

Sigh... I had so much respect for Erick but I am not too sure anymore...
