10 Zen Monkeys Apologizes to Nick Douglas

The webzine 10 Zen Monkeys has publicly apologized to former Valleywag lead writer Nick Douglas for publishing the interview that got him fired. They've also published a leaked internal Gawker email that confirms the reasons for the firing. (Ooh, how... Valleywagesque!). A quote within a quote from the Gawker email:

We were also concerned by Nick???s repeated misunderstanding of the
purpose of our sites. Here???s a quote from a recent interview with him,
after we???d asked him to lay off the press interviews:

"We
haven???t gotten a serious legal threat so far. Well, a couple of minor
ones, but we???re still waiting for a good solid cease-and-desist and a
good lawsuit. We???re really trying to get News Corp. to sue us."

While the interview wasn't the only reason Nick was let go from Valleywag, we can imagine that it was the straw that broke the camel's back as they say.

The rumor going around is that Nick is headed to Revision3 to host a web TV show.
