Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

For everyone? That's idiotic. It's killed all my desire to engage, because I'll want to respond to someone, hit the wall, and just leave for several days. Eventually the several days seems to have become forever. I thought that was the point after dang specifically told me to "be respectful." If it's for everyone that's completely idiotic.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. The site is not about having good conversations, but getting youths to risk doing a startup in order to fill Paul's pockets.
