I have nothing profound to say on the subject. I want to show that it matters to me, though...and since I never paid for a membership, I can't cancel it! My main point is that I believe the way Jeff's firing was handled was completely mismanaged by CNet.
I will miss Jeff's high energy craziness and funny quirks. He was one of the editors that "made" the site.
Saying that, until I know the truth, I can't say whether or not Jeff deserved to get fired. If his firing had anything to do with Lame and Lynch, then I will be completely let down by Gamespot.
To get back to the main point, even if Jeff deserved to get fired, the way it was all handled was ridiculous. It has been the opposite of transparent, and has been completely disrespectful to fans of Jeff and the site. Knowing that Jeff was a driving force behind what made Gamespot, CNet should have made public the rationale the moment the firing occurred. I know that is not how normal HR works, but this isn't a normal job. Every hour there is not an official explanation, it gets worse for the site.
Good luck Jeff.
