Michael Arrington sucks up to Valleywag

TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington has decided to suck up to Nick Douglas of Valleywag:

Generally speaking, it’€™s best to avoid being written about on Valleywag if at all possible.

My initial strategy was to ignore it (and Nick) entirely and pray for the best. Dave Winer hoped that being in Berkeley, outside of Silicon Valley, would be enough to keep him safe. Others simply tried to stay quiet.

Well, it didn’€™t work. I’€™ve been written about a few times, and sometimes ridiculed, on Valleywag (posts are here). So now I have a new policy. I’€™m going to suck up to Nick Douglas in a big way. This post is my first effort. Nick, can I take you to dinner sometime?

Apparantly, I need to read Valleywag more often if there’s this much juice on there…
