Six Apart: Wow, what a fool.

When I suggested LJ might dig itself to China, I was kidding. But Six Apart's VP anildash's response to the ValleyWag article (I take it the gossip hit an all-too-accurate nerve?) suggests China, and possible lift-off once LJ hits the other side.

Quote: 'Thanks and good luck to Brad -- can't wait to see what you do next. And a big hearty fuck-you to rumormongers who stir shit up just to demoralize people who do good work. If you don't have enough drama in your life, go make something that millions of people think is valuable.'

Because giving the gossipmongers more to gossip about is always a good idea. I've got to talk to my friends in PR. This is one for the textbooks.



P.S. The rumormongers in question are ValleyWag: Six Apart Fails To Spin and Valley Wag: Six Apart Funnels Donations to Backer's Pet Charities.

ETA: Oh yeah. Really bad idea to piss off the rumormongers.

Son of ETA: Aha. Apparently this is corporate politics (vagueness alert) aimed at screwing brad over. And reading through the comments on ValleyWag makes the motives of the commenters pretty damned clear. anildash's post is very stupid, but I don't like being manipulated by ax-grinders.

I think wildernessguru hit the nail on the head when he thought for a moment and said, "This guy is out of his league."
