“#6 Started Talks with NewsCorp.”

You’re basing this off a rumor reported in only one place on the internet, that place being the Blog Herald, whose “editor” has a massive vendetta against Six Apart and co-founder Mena Trott?

“#5 Start Charging for MovableType.”

This is opinion. Some say that that’s what saved their ass and made them what they are today.

“#4 Bought Livejournal in order to increase value of Typepad.”

Not sure how this qualifies as a bad thing. I use LJ and it has improved greatly since the acquisition so there’s certainly no cannibalization. Whether or not it increases the value of TypePad (or even if that was actually the original intention) is anyone’s guess.

“#3 Hire PR Agency that Spams their Users.”

I think that’s been pretty well debunked at the source, which you didn’t link to: http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/005687.html

“#2 Started Blogspot Clone to lessen the value of Blogger”

Ummmm. Have you ever used TypePad? I have. I’ve also used Blogger. If they were trying to clone it, they failed. Instead they made something far superior. Bad Six Apart! No biscuit!

“#1 Give Customers $$ for Shitty Service to appease Mr. Murdoch”

Now we’re assuming that #6 was true AND on top of that there’s a conspiracy. Don your tinfoil hats and cue the X-files theme, baby: It’s WACKO time!
