Arrington has two roles (investor and journalist) On TechCrunch, he plays the role of journalist and I think he did the right thing by pointing out that some developers are in denial. As a writer for TechCrunch, unless Arrington promised "favorable" treatment to Seesmic, I see absolutely nothing wrong in him criticizing Seesmic based on publicly available information. If Seesmic didn't want to be criticized on TC, they should have made that a pre-condition for funding (and I'm sure Arrington wouldn't have contributed to funding the company)
