Hi. This Michelle Ogata, one of the co-founders of Faketown. I would like to shed some light on the situation regarding the "Ron vs. Ross" feud. It is true that there was a misunderstanding between the two, however, there was definitely no "bullying" of the company by Ross Levinsohn. In reality, Ron and Ross are both strong supporters of Faketown. To say that Ross "bullied" the company, however, could not be further from the truth... You can quote me on that one. By the way, I heard that Ron and Ross spoke today [Friday]... and things seem to be smooth sailing at this point. All water under the bridge from what I understand. Communication... usually a good thing! [In an email to Valleywag, after reports of a falling-out between Ron Conway, the legendary angel investor, and Ross Levinsohn, the former Fox Interactive honcho who was advising one of his portfolio companies, Faketown.]
