  if it personifies douchebag It may personify douchebag to you and 82,482 other irrelevant strangers on the internet.

And from all that I can see, he has done pretty well. ie. he's scored many deals where the entrepreneurs see him as the no-bs guy; I'm not aware of any where an entrepreneur blatantly turned him down due to his writing style. Most that claim they would never raise money from him have never raised money and never will. Conclusion: it's his style, it works for him and his goals, so he continues.
