While obviously this kind of article will appeal to the HN readership, especially in the wake of recent postings, is there a more legitimate discussion to be had about the value of YC vs the value of the PG personality cult/the value YC has outside the standard Silicon Valley personality-driven organization? I'm a long-time fan of PG and YC (we recently submitted) but I don't view YC or HN as being defined by their creators/partners in the same way that Arrington and Calacanis tend to despite similarly divisive opinions. Is that because I agree with PG more or because he's a more positive community influence?
