But Michael has done the right thing here ... and that's the key: setting up systems so that when the inevitable happens, there are ways to track and identify and resolve issues.

Transparency in exposing an extortion is to out both parties to that extortion not just one.. We cannot rescue a country out of recession if the startups and coverage is base don circle jerk moves rather than transparency and honesty..because its that truth currency that allows consumers etc to spend again thus triggering a recovery.

Unfortunately it's not just young people who do stuff like this. I've seen it a few times and they don't seem to learn, they just move on to the next one. This may not be the case here because it's very public. But they move on to another industry. Techcrunch handled this very good. They removed the companies who are into this BS. It's not 100% transparancy when you don't reveal their names. But it wouldn't be fair to the founders of those comps. Let's save that conversation for Twist. On to the next one.

Some are saying that breaks FTC rules. Why not put up a disclaimer instead of destroying all evidence and wishing it would go away? For a tech news site there's way too much drama going on. The CrunchPad and now this. The common dominator in all of this is Mike himself. It's going to be hard to trust future info from Techcrunch.com What about Mike removing all of Daniel’s posts on Techcrunch? Some are saying that breaks FTC rules.
