I can completely understand Marcos reaction here. 9to5/Seth seems to have been persistently badgering him. For example (Seth's words):
But in updating, I spelled his name wrong —”Marcus Armento”—as a laugh.

I (also jokingly) called his app “Instascraper,” which publishers often
call the app because it removes ads from the websites it views. “Scraping”
is what publishers call bots and other robot services that strip content
from a site and republish it without any financial payment
That was in addition to the stories of Instapaper as a source of the leaked UDIDs and previous unflattering commentary.
Marco isn't completely blameless, however I completely understand why he was upset. Banning 9to5 was a step too far however he realized his mistake and owned up to it.
Dare I ask - what else do you want?
