TL;DR: Michael Arrington of TechCrunch is tipped off a bunch of top Angels are meeting in a bar, but he isn't welcome. He drops by since he knows them, but is met with guilty silence. Upon digging he is told the Angels are meeting to (illegally?) resolve complaints like the growing power of YC, and restraining new Angels/deal competition. Dave McClure is the first Angel to publicly counter Arrington writing that he is off base.
- X-Istence 16y agoOkay, so everything I found was the whole story. From the flinging of poop in various directions I take it that Arrington's story may have had some truth to it after all.
- alnayyir 16y agoSeems like there's at least been some meetings, but I can't help but drench anything Arrington "digs" up with some hoisin sauce. I wouldn't extrapolate the subjects of the meetings without some hard facts. Ones that didn't come from TC or people who stand to benefit from "SuperAngels" getting embarrassed/investigated.
