I agree wholeheartedly, and was going to say something similar. I can empathise with his difficult position. He HAS sacrificed some of the objectivity that came with his position as a "tech journalist." That's okay, in my opinion. Just own it, reassure your readership and continue with business as usual, maybe with occasional, NYT ombudsman-style updates about potential conflicts. Really don't see the value in getting defensive and angry. I think he's just tired of Tech Crunch. Bow out, Mike.
