Didn't he just say that as a joke? Seems like it to me.

Law suits are not uncommon for gossip sites rite. I am surprised by the reason. Is that real one ? Is the new source is reliable ?

"Explain" is the right word. The email is giving an explanation to other employees. It may or may not reflect the real reason.

Gawker media doesn't even have a registered business in the US. Nick Denton "outsources" the lawsuit risk potential for his gossip blogs out to his home country, Hungary, to his friend's wine wholesale business's address or so... ;)

I am very disappointed in Venturebeat's decision to publish this dirt. And that's exactly what it is. Whether he's a witty in-your-face journalist that came come off as a loose canon or just a fresh-out-of-college, doesn't-know-any-better, he does not deserve to have this business set out.

Stick to the news, folks.

Mike, I hear you.

It is not an easy call. But half the people I know in the valley -- and these are people who run start-ups -- read Valleywag religiously. Bizarre, but true.
