Shirley Hornstein

From TechCrunch:

Now, dragging up old accusations against someone who doesn’t seem to be working at a major startup or venture firm might seem mean, especially in the context of this cryptic-but-contrite tweet from February: “I get it Karma, I did some stupid stuff and now I’m paying for it but I learned my lesson. I *really* did. Please stop torturing me? :-( ” And look, Shirley Hornstein has never done anything bad to me. Except, y’know, lie. It sounds like she’s done quite a bit of that around the Valley, and it seemed like it was time to bring that into the open — before any other naive souls accept her friend request.

True or not, I still feel sorry for the girl, which begs the question: If @arrington was still in charge, is this kind of article going to see the light of day?
