Responding to criticism in this fashion is a waste of time. It degenerates quickly into a "Did not!" "Did too!" argument. Better to simply write good articles and leave the critics to their own endeavors.
That response reminds me of his response to the pushback to his Tweetbot review. In both cases, he links to the original as if it is innocuous and needs no explanation, when in fact it is incendiary.
Absolutely. I honestly clicked on his link to the original expecting to read an observation taken completely out of context. I was wrong. It wasn't even a veiled attempt at attacking the Verge's integrity - he outright claimed they were sellouts with dubious ethics.

Marco is correct except for at the end where he makes a veiled charge that neither he (nor Gruber) has substantiated.
