Everyone knows that TechCrunch editor Michael Arrington had a falling out with tech writer Nick Carr on the Gillmor Gang podcast. But Gang host Steve Gillmor hasn't published that part of the show. (He's released Part 1, which consists of everyone trashing Valleywag. It's cute.) In the meantime, we've deduced how it went down. Unsatisfied with that, I tried to wrangle some coherent explanation out of Steve. Here's a long snippet of the conversation.

Valleywag: i want to know so i can quote you: what really happened between arrington and carr?
Steve Gillmor: no way to know what someone else really thinks, is there

Wag: what did YOU see go down?
Steve: not much, seeing as how we do the show on the phone
Wag: har. what'd you hear?
Steve: well, I announced that I am moving to Valleywag "if he'll have me."
Wag: so you mentioned
Wag: but about arrington and carr
Wag: what'd arrington say about carr?
Steve: great gouys, friends of mine
Steve: has he written anything about this?
Wag: like i said, carr wrote that arrington refused to return to the gang if carr was part of it.
Steve: I saw that
Wag: is that what you heard happen?
Steve: well, until the show is released nothing happened wouldn't you say

About that time, I cried uncle. We'll have to wait for Steve to release the rest of the show.
