Finally he gets caught out for saying stupid shit. Every thing this man says is self serving (which is fine) but he tries to disguise it as profound knowledge.

Finally he gets caught out for saying stupid shit. Every thing this man says is self serving (which is fine) but he tries to disguise it as profound knowledge. Ben Evans is 10x worse however, he is one idiotic twat.
- SpeakMouthWords 11y agoOne of Evans' favourite debate tactics is to tweet something brimming with subtext, then when someone calls him out on it, takes a literal approach to what he said. It's infuriating.
- azzafazza 11y agoYou summed up exactly what I thought it in my head about his Tweets, he is positively juvenile.
- w1ntermute 11y agoEvans has been called out for his idiotic behavior before[0]. From what I can tell, his only contribution to a discussion is to say the most banal things (ex: there will be 5B smartphone users in 2020) in a way that makes them sounds original. 0: http://www.buzzfeed.com/williamalden/benedict-evans-wants-to-make-sure-you-know-what-he-said http://www.buzzfeed.com/williamalden/benedict-evans-wants-to...
- justinsingh 11y agoBy 'says' in your comment, I hope you mean 'tweet'. Andresseen has said and done many smart things.
- azzafazza 11y agoAhh yes, an important distinction. I do mean Tweet. His tweets really sit at odds with me. He was someone I looked up to at one point, but the main interface (Twitter) I have with him portrays a very different person than the one I thought he was.
- dang 11y ago> idiotic twat Ouch. Please stop posting uncivil comments to HN. Even assuming you're right, putting it this way encourages the worst from others.
