TechCrunch's Arrington Takes Leave

Citing death threats, a recent incident where he was spat upon, and "more verbal abuse than a human being can realistically deal with", TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington said in a blog post entitled Some Things Need To Change early Wednesday morning that he is taking February off, to "get a better perspective on what I'm spending my life doing." According to Arrington's post, he "can’t say my job is much fun any more" and he'll take February off from writing, "far away from my iPhone and laptop."
