- nocman 16y agoSeems to me like you are jumping to a pretty big conclusion about nkohari's comment. Or am I misunderstanding what you were trying to say? I didn't see any "feeling superior" at all in what nkohari said. You don't have to feel superior to someone who is behaving childishly just because you don't want to be around them. And I don't think he was targeting "everyone there" either. He just said Silicon Valley was "full of drama and ego wars". Now, perhaps "full of" is overly strong. I'm sure there are plenty of level-headed people in the mix too. But I don't doubt from what I've read and seen that there is plenty of "drama and ego wars" to go around.
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoRight. Pretty low bar to feel superior to children.
- nkohari 16y agoThe irony in this comment is delicious, in that by posting it, you've found a way to feel superior to me. Congratulations! You also completely misinterpreted what I was saying, but I suspect you're not interested in that anyway.
