So what you're saying is basically anyone who is not a programmer is a lazy idiot and has no place in this world Wow, I understand now why you sleep with a book, because no human being in their right mind would ever do so without the use of force.

I actively seek out non-programmers to work with on side projects/startups, I just don't seek out lazy people who haven't read a single thing about startups, startup culture, or how to increase your odds of success, or how YC picks the 'winners'.

    Yea, I made the mistake of asking you people for advice years ago, you think I would have leaned better than to come back ask a site fill of trolls for help.

I am going to consider from now on that you don't understand how to read. I don't, nor did I ever say that I need YC funding you tool. I have money I don't want anything from anyone, I am not looking for a handout, if you could read you would understand that from my first post. I understand that sub-par programmers like you are a dime a dozen these days and that makes you pissed but you think twice before you criticize someone for no reason it's impolite and makes you look like a real asshole.

  You've been irrational and angry the whole time (not that telling you will change anything) I'll side with how the community is voting on this one. Your behavior isn't appropriate, and it's obvious that you haven't spent any time learning the culture here. It's not so much being able to repeat programmer shibboleths, you've just not used your time in this community wisely. The point isn't to seek YC funding, I don't have any interest in that right now as I'm not aiming to do that kind of startup. The point is that PG is a great deal more experienced, level-headed, and intelligent than any newbie founder would be. One should try to use his knowledge. Don't make a mess in this typically polite community. Act out your tantrum with me privately. Don't make ad hominems here, they don't fly well.

Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face to face conversation. When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names.
