At last night's PopSugar-TechCrunch party, I hadn't hoped to become part of the story, but LA Times reporter David Sarno suggested Arrington's 86ing of my date inspired Mashable's Pete Cashmore to invent a story about his own ouster. I don't know whether there's anything to Sarno's theory. But I do know this: Cashmore and Arrington are full of it if they think either of their operations are "top 10 blogs."

I'm pretty sure a list of the actual top 10 blogs would include 8 celebrity gossip titles and 2 political rags.
TechCrunch may lack tight analysis or a broader sense of what's going on in the econony, but Mashable is a stream of poorly rewritten press releases surrounded by garish advertising for horrible websites. It's horrible.
since when did these 2 become "tech titans".. i dont really see these 2 in the same league as steve jobs and bill gates.
Mashable and TechCrunch are both tired and stale. When your greatest "accomplishment" is blogging the Flickr video launch it might be time to move on.
What a worthless scumbag arrington is, seriously diaf
Um, yeah. What's mashable anyway? (yawn). Cashmore is as full of himself as Arrington ("the tech world is going to go crazy over this" - ?) only gets away with it more b/c he's better looking. They both need to go into celebrity death match.
in this photo, arrington looks like Ralphie...the boy from the movie "A Christmas Story"
I love it! Our Heroes are so far under Arrington's skin they're tapping his spinal cord like a xylophone. Good work, gents!
Mashable Pete is an uneducated a-hole
