- pavs 17y agoWhat pandering? He is an investor of Seesmic. He is also the founder of TC. He used TC to promote Seesmic. Seesmic founder made some predictions which didn't come true (like millions of other people who makes predictions that doesn't come true). A rational, reasonable, sane investor would chalk it out as an investment not working out the way they hoped for. But MA has to single him out, of all the people who were wrong, in public and ridicule him. After this and crunchpad incident, why would any reasonable person would want to do business with this unstable individual? You have to be extremely desperate or stupid to do business with him. IMO YMMV. ps. You can chalk out my reaction towards him as not pandering to TC and everything Arrington like most of HN.
