I don't think article length has anything to do with whether we should mention this or not. As I said earlier, balance it out with a mention of how many thousands of games he's reviewed and how he's a respected member of the Gamespot crew if you like, but I still think there isn't a good enough reason to pretend that there was no controversy, it's really not relevant whether the site itself referred to it or not. For instance, you're not going to get a government saying "we did this thing wrong and a load of people disagreed with us over it", but that does not mean that that did not happen.
