Since you seem in support of having a down arrow, and you never really intended to get your article to the front page, then what that says is that you were less concerned about submitting something of value than you were about promoting your writing. You shouldn't have submitted it in the first place.

Either that or you just wrote the piece knowing that it'd appeal to the growing anti-arrington/tc sentiment here, so you knew it was an easy climb to the top.

I'm getting extremely irritated by this sort of stuff. Many of you are doing exactly what you're criticizing Arrington/TC of doing - childish gossip and name calling. There's much more important, worthwhile and fulfilling shit to discuss.
