Certainly wasn't my intention. I'll be more careful in the future. I guess I'm not sure how to debate whether one city produces more successful startups than another. I mean, I think it's safe to say that Y Combinator and SF have been more successful than, say, Union Square Ventures and NYC, so I'm not sure where the internecine is in my above comment, but I guess I'll just sidestep this topic altogether for now and think on it. Thanks for letting me know.

By 'internecine' I mean that sometimes people attack each other because their nations are close and sometimes ('xenophobia') because they are far. I'd give additional examples but I don't want to set anybody else off. The main thing is just to err on the side of being respectful, remembering that other people feel as much love and loyalty for their side as we each do for ours.

  > remembering that other people feel as much love and loyalty for their side as we each do for ours. Oh, for sure. I try to maintain respect for all nations and their people. Are you certain you weren't targeting another comment? I guess I could've done without the "Lol" in my comment above, and just cited Tencent without implying the commenter was "ignoring" them. But there wasn't any internecine or xenophobia there that I could detect, because it was a discussion about Shenzhen vs. Beijing, which are within the same nation! =) I understand if you can't give examples. Thanks again, I will try to be more respectful down the road.

        "What? I was uncivil to someone else, in an entirely different subthread leave me alone!" You're pathetic.
