OY Vey: Just walk away, Sam. The Blognation bollocks continues…

Have you read Sam Sethi’s post about the death of BlogNation? He’s called Scotland Yard in the find and arrest whoever forwarded the VC term sheet to TechCrunch.

For whatever reason, I can’t take him seriously. Maybe its the self-pitying tone of his writing, or the “police involvement lends me credibility” move, or the fact that he’s admitted to lying about funding and actively mis-managing the business (excluding “ill feeling” editors from discussions about funding, for instance).

Everyone makes mistakes, and its easy to get sucked into a cascading vortex of bad decisions. But once its all out and on the table, its best to admit your mistakes, dust yourself off, and move on, IMHO.
