TechCrunch-Blogger Arrington nimmt Auszeit nach Angriff

(Link zum Artikel: http://www.createordie.de/cod/news/047077)

TechCrunch-Gründer Michael Arrington nimmt eine Auszeit. Nachdem Arrington auf dem Rückweg von der DLD in sein Hotel auf öffentlicher Straße angegriffen worden war, hat er sich zu diesem Schritt entschlossen:

The event was over and I was on my way back to my hotel. The last thing I wanted was another product pitch as I hurried to the car that would drive me to Davos for the next event. So when I saw this person approach me out of the corner of my eye, I turned away slightly and avoided eye contact. Sometimes that works. But in this case all it did was make me vulnerable to the last thing I expected.
In the past I’ve been grabbed, pulled, shoved and otherwise abused at events, but never spat on. I think this is where I’m going to draw a line.

TechCrunch sei sehr erfolgreich, so Arrington, doch der Erfolg sei es nicht wert, sich beschimpfen und bedrohen zu lassen. Bis Ende Februar will sich Arrington nun Zeit nehmen, um über TechCrunch und seine Arbeit nachzudenken.

I’ve decided the right thing to do is take some time off and get a better perspective on what I’m spending my life doing. I’ll be taking most of February off from writing, and decide what the best future for me is while sitting on a beach somewhere far away from my iPhone and laptop. I’ll be continuing to write this week and cover news from the World Economic Forum in Davos, then I’ll take time off starting next week.

Wir hoffen Arrington bald wieder hinter seiner Tastaur zu sehen.
