Sam, TechCrunch UK, Le Web3 and Loic
Sam Sethi, TechCrunch UK did an honest review of Le Web3 and the organiser, Loic wasn’t too pleased and apparently commented on the post as follows:
Sam. There is no word to qualify you and this post. You are just an asshole
Sam has done some good work since starting the UK division of the TechCrunch corporate monster and was turning it into something useful for us UK entrepreneurs.
Today this appeared in my feed reader from TechCrunch UK:
Following yesterday’s post about Le Web and Loic’s retort. It seems Mike Arrington has disagreed with my post and opinion believing my actions to be vindictive towards Loic. What was said between Mike and I will remain confidential but suffice to say I can no longer remain with TechCrunch UK & Ireland. It is a very sad after all the work that has gone into TechCrunch UK and Ireland. I wish all of the UK and Irish entrepreneurs well. I will be personally blogging back at www.vecosys.com and looking for something new to keep me busy. Bye
The post has now been removed, why oh why, does removing it make it less true?
Anyhoo, I for one will always have time for Sam. I can’t say the same for the other protagonists.
Sam’s done so much in such a short time, it’s a real shame it’s come to such a crazy end over something equally crazy.
Entente Cordiale? I think not.

[…] The whole situation stinks, first Loic got upset, next thing Sam got out of his editorial responsibility and at the end Mike Arrington cooks it up. I was quite a frequent reader of Sam Sethi, in my opinion his Le Web conference reaction was a lot moderate then other Le Web review I have seen on the web. First of all Le Web was supposed to be a conference for web and social networking guys to make things better but Honorable Simon of Israel made it political march (what the crap he knows about web). As for Loic, what he did is also logical, that guy has been working so hard to make one of the largest tech conference in the world and all the people are just criticizing him, instead giving him some sympathy and credit. Come on guys it is not his fault that Simon Perez wanted to join Le Web, and how can he deny a Nobel prize winner? it is not simply good for reputation. Loic i totally understand your pain, you did a great job(whatever happen it is not your fault). Finally as for Mr. Arrington, i guess things would have been much clearer if he would have left those comments(not Loic’s) and Sam’s post. Some of the guys copied the deleted post from the feed reader before it got chopped off. […]

[…] Mike Arrington, who respects neither free speech nor his employees has canned Sam Sethi from the UK TechCrunch webpub. Sam’s better off. Now if Six Apart investors can see fit to influence Six Apart management to dump Loic Le Meur and hire Sam, then there will be much nastiness driven from blogaria and justice will be served. Seems obvious to me that Le Meur is just another one of the flying monkeys, like Arrington, grabbing for Internet wealth and otherwise pretty much a nonentity. […]

Cette année, la cible de l’ire de Loïc, c’est Sam Sethi, maintenant ex-chroniqueur de TechCrunch UK. Et comme l’an dernier, Loïc a justifié la bassesse de sa réplique par la fatigue. Pôvre de petit lui! Franchement, je n’ai rien à foutre de….
