though the level of reaction was not warranted, a reaction was understandable.

How could he continue with the review? It was obviously going to be a positive one, and just by raising the question of bias, Arrington pissed in the pool. Anything Leo could have said would've been filtered through that lens.

No, no I agree. He not only interrupts him, he does so to question someone like Laporte's journalistic integrity. Coming from someone like Arrington immediately following the last.fm thing, this is clearly something to object strongly to.

But Laporte does get pretty salty there. And at one point he tells all of them to fuck off, not just Arrington.
