I feel for the guy, for if you read between the lines of the latest news about Tumblr and one or two of his recent blog posts, he was obviously ousted by his board. So maybe it was a very difficult post to write.

However, I'm still astounded that this quality of writing could come from a company president.

Definitely sounds like an ousting rather than wanting to step down.

And based on the recent decision to start selling advertising, it sounds like it's related to his inability to produce a top-line, or perhaps his aversion to the prevailing winds at the board about the timeline and methods to produce revenue.

Do you think it was the board, or Karp?
