You didn't refute a single point in the argument and somehow made it revolve around your ass. So basically, anyone who disagrees with you is disagreeing simply because you didn't write about their startups. What is this, elementary school? Grow up. By the way, I've been a reader here for years, and I say when it comes to poor reporting you definitely take the cake. I would like Robin and the others to be more active so that your posts keep sinking into the ether. Your posts are always amongst the worst here. Go find yourself a real job and let the informed adults handle this blog and its readership.
