Lee Garfinkel strikes back, defends mustache

Woke up this morning thinking I should post some more thoughts in the Lee Garfinkel-gets-canned-for-Eric-Silver saga, because what struck me was how, when the swap out was eventually confirmed, the commenters had turned a bit more positive by my subjective estimation. The detractors were still there, of course, but you could see the hatefest slowly playing itself out. The whole incident makes me think we all should have a commenter SWAT team, at the ready, for whenever our reputation is being impugned online. Rally those Facebook friends and Twitter followers!

Anyway, this morning @bmorrissey pointed out that now Lee, back from Antarctica (yes, he was in Antarctica during this whole thing), has stricken back with a 825-word story at Adweek.com in which he mostly defends the trashing of his ... mustache.

He also claims to have started a blog, blogaboutlee.com in which people can continue to comment about him, but he hasn't, really; it's just a parked GoDaddy page, owned by Adweek.
