It's no secret that a fair number of commenters throughout the controversy have sided with Google's or Bing's side.

Some people have thought that the initial story came to a premature conclusion (where, incidentally, Bing cried foul). Now we have Jacques, it appears, arriving at premature conclusion as well and we have Google crying foul. To me, that's the essence of irony.

I'm sure both Google Search and Bing have your reasons for the way the dirty laundry has been brought out in public.
