Michael Arrington:
Today AOL unfired me.
I am a venture capitalist and have all sorts of conflicts of interest. Many of you think that conflicts of interest are inherently bad and people with them shouldn’t be writing stuff for other people to read. A lot of people would agree with you. It was the reason AOL fired me last year, after they invested in my venture fund CrunchFund.
I disagree.
AOL now also disagrees.
Before everyone starts freaking the fuck out, just hold on a second and hear me out.
The world feels right again.
