This looks like a routine miscommunication that happens all the time in business. Usually you just patch up the misunderstanding and move on. I think Arrington loves to fight, so he escalated it. So what? Why is this on Hacker News?
- billswift 16y agoHe didn't escalate it, he was just stubborn. The S&S lawyer escalated with threats of a lawsuit. Then he countered by making the disagreement public.
- techiferous 16y agoHe escalated it by refusing to comply with a simple request to shorten the original excerpts. Sure, it was not his fault that he would have had to fix the blog post, but that would've been the civil and practical thing to do, in my opinion.
