And yeah, I know, "don't feed the trolls." But I'm getting really tired of seeing posts from this clown running smack about a service he couldn't monetize or whose conversation he couldn't direct to his satisfaction. Seriously, STFU, troll. - Steven Perez

SP, you have a way of summing up an issue. - Eric

I've seen enough of his type on political blogs, so I know what I'm looking at it: a troll. And for the record: "In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Steven Perez

I used to think TC disappearing from my feed was a bad thing. I'm coming to realize maybe its not such a bad thing. I still get MG Siegler's stuff from his feed, so I'm getting just about all the stuff i want from TC. - Rasmus Lauridsen

Yeah, after that Last.fm debacle, I'm surprised that anyone still listens to him. - Steven Perez

The good thing about not following tech is not having any idea who Michael Arrington or TechCrunch is. WHO'S EXCITED FOR TONIGHT'S TRUE BLOOD? - Derrick

What's TRUE BLOOD? *ducks* - Steven Perez

What Derrick said! - Penguin from fftogo

Every month it's something else. It's just an attention ploy. - Spencer

@Derrick hell yes! Don't have TV so I probably won't get to see it 'till tomorrow though :-( - Louis Simoneau

I'm with Derrick. I saw this whole mob thing and was like, "huh?" - Lis

I was going to be embarrassed that I had never heard of Michael Arrington before this, other than in relation to the Leo Laporte thing, but now, not so much. No need to even care, I have other, more worthy trolls, to feed. :D - Bette Cooper

One of those trolls would be me... To the kitchen woman! :-P - Rasmus Lauridsen

Ah yes, my favorite troll... my Darling Husband! :p - Bette Cooper

hahahaha Arrington Troll is busted! That is what he gets for dissing people! Now to the the other Trolls. LOL - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

I'm on the fence. his circle of people hate me, but I've never had a reason to actually have direct beef with Arrington. Igor really hates him though. to be honest Tech is boring. real science people don't read latest PR pieces for web2.0 ventures. it is mostly cultural BS... but I like BS in general... but Tech seems online to become about avoiding real issues for the sake of Tech... thus it becomes elitist because it is impossible to question power without politics. kind of a dark culture. I'm not convinced that there are any good guys in this biz - NoahDavidSimon

I do not hate Arrington. He is just a pompous selfish condescending Asshole with a huge Ego! If you say to him anything he does not agree with, he calls you a Troll and bans you from his blog. JIDF is banned from TC. - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Arrington is a grade A prick with the morals of a fucking mosquito. Would that classify as trolling? - Guy McLaren

Trolls are nice, Arrington is a Douchebag! LOL He thinks he so important, that he is a God or something. Today he has money, tomorrow he might be on welfare blogging from his mother's basement. One should never let success go to his head. It pays to be humble to people and show them respect! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
