TechCrunch founder Mike Arrington would be taking a break from his work. In an uncommonly personal post from Europe, Arrington reported Wednesday that he is going to take some time off and reconsider his future.
The decision, he said, was prompted by an encounter he had as he was leaving a tech conference Tuesday in Munich, Germany.
Arrington, whose Web site had more than 2.2 million unique visitors in December, according to comScore, is the major-domo for startup showcase events and hands out “Crunchie” awards for companies.
The incident, as Arrington portrays it, represented a culmination of harassment that has come with TechCrunch’s success in its business niche.
Of the more recent incident, Arrington declared: “I draw the line at being spat on. It’s one step away from something far more violent.”
Such harassment may be interpreted as a dubious validation for TechCrunch, a high-profile part of the nonstop dialogue in the business of digital technology.
