- PedroCandeias 16y agoBut in this case I think it's appropriate. Naughtiness does seem more prevalent in successful people than in average joes.
- Psyonic 16y agoI disagree. Not with PG, but with a quote from him being a worthwhile comment. The OP was sincere; I think he deserved an actual response, not a robotic one listing the relevant entry in the works of PG.
- aaronblohowiak 16y agoOf all the people to have a cult of personality, PG is a pretty decent choice.
- blasdel 16y agoIt's better than citing him like an xkcd comic, with just a URL as a punchline.
- mkramlich 16y agoI find it less creepy when people quote Paul Graham, a real human being who's achieved things we admire, than when people quote long dead historical (at best) and sometimes perhaps totally imaginary characters (often more likely) from the Bible, as gospel. ;)
