Also notable that the author didn't link Haje's (the TechCrunch person who railed against Alexander Wang) actual writing because he knew it doesn't make either Haje, or his argument in favor of Haje, look good. So, here it is:
> I would invite him — and those supporting them — to fuck all the way off. You misunderstand me. You thought I wanted you to fuck only partially the way off. Please, read my lips. I was perfectly clear: Off you fuck. All the way. Remove head from ignorant ass, then fuck all the way off.
This is the quality of writing whose loss the author is arguing is why TechCrunch has lost its global relevance. A perfect inversion of the truth if I've ever seen one.
Yeah that was a weird pivot in the article. I enjoyed it up to that point, but the strident defense of that terrible Haje article seemed out of left field; like I'd switched to reading Twitter for a couple paragraphs. Of all the things that has hurt TC, getting rid of Haje for that article seems like it should be at the very bottom of the list.

The Pulitzer Prize-worthy content in question:
