It appears Sam Sethi might have left the UK version of TechCrunch, a hugely popular tech blog originating from the US. Sam recently wrote about My Neighbourhoods on TechCrunch UK after it’s launch. Following Sam’s negative write up of Le Web 3 (Loic Lemeur retaliated by calling him an “asshole”), I read the post below via RSS, which was swiftly removed:

Sam Sethi leaves TechCrunch UK

Following yesterday’s post about Le Web and Loic’s retort. It seems Mike Arrington has disagreed with my post and opinion believing my actions to be vindictive towards Loic. What was said between Mike and I will remain confidential but suffice to say I can no longer remain with TechCrunch UK & Ireland. It is a very sad after all the work that has gone into TechCrunch UK and Ireland. I wish all of the UK and Irish entrepreneurs well. I will be personally blogging back at www.vecosys.com and looking for something new to keep me busy. Bye

It’ll be interesting to see how this develops. I didn’t always agree with Sam’s posts but it seems to have gone from a small disagreement to his departure in no time at all, which is a little severe considering the circumstances. Surely blogging is all about having opinions and having people respond to those opinions, good or bad.
