Ryan : Within 10 minutes, a tumblr representative responded: “Hi, Megan. Those URLs are now free. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with. Thanks for using Tumblr!” Meagan : As per our policy, we emailed this account’s address to inquire about the dormant account. After you failed to respond for 72 hours, we released the domain. Was it 10 minutes or was it 72 hours?

Probably 10 minutes. That guy has no reason to lie. Meagan, does. Her response is also awful and she should be fired, she clearly has no respect for the users and without users... well we all know what happens.

  I think you totally misread the motivational factors here. That guy (aka Tumbledore) could easily want to lie to bolster the justification for the indignation he obviously feels. Meaghan, OTOH, has many more reasons not to want to lie, foremost of which is that she is representing an entire actual company. Tumbledore has nothing to lose and everything to gain, since all that's at stake here is his internet "personal brand", for which notoriety is the stock-in-trade. UPDATE: sh4na is correct that I misinterpreted "that guy" to mean Tumbledore, not Ryan of Pitchfork. The 10 minutes vs. 72 hours discrepancy is significant, but to presume that Ms. O'Connell is lying over-reaches. That is, unless one presumes that she's personally conducted an investigation of the support staff's emails and the account management history in order to satisfy the ego of an entitled netbrat, and is now knowingly misrepresenting the true facts of this very important matter.

    You are confused, that guy is not the blog owner, he is the Founder of Pitchfork, and obviously he has no reason to lie. The fact that the Tumblr version blatantly contradicts him only makes it that much obvious that that Meaghan person is the one lying about the whole thing.

    If she didn't know the facts and never did her part to find out, she should not have posted such a post and may as well be lying, since she states conflicting information as fact.

Was it 10 minutes or was it 72 hours? Well, according to the email posted to http://tumbledore.tumblr.com/post/393276231/this-is-in-response-to-me-being-libeled-by-a http://tumbledore.tumblr.com/post/393276231/this-is-in-respo... they did NOT give 72 hours notice, so definitely 10 minutes.
