I understand, but my problem was with the whole attitude of "I'm so outraged and disgusted with this organization -- but I'm going to accept a check from them anyway. If you're really that outraged, then you shouldn't be accepting a check from them IMO.
For example, let's say someone worked at a news organization, and that organization fires someone because they wrote a story bashing President Bush. If that person was truly outraged about the firing, they would find another job -- not complain about it while getting a check. That's my main problem.
Most people can't afford the luxury of quiting their job just because their employer does something questionable. Like Nex said, he has to eat. He would be a hypocrite if he criticized Cnet's actions and then and went and did the same thing. There's a fine line between standing up for your principles and shooting yourself in the foot. Principles don't pay the mortgage.
In any case, just commenting about it on his livejournal may be enough of a reason for Cnet to decide they don't have anymore freelance work for him, and he doesn't seem exactly heartbroken about that. I think you're misinterpreting this.
As long as I get paid well, I don't care if I found out a company I worked for raped babies on a daily basis. People need the scratch.
