- Nasrudith 7y agoI think it is them - everyone manages to come across as vapid even by Twitter standards. I may be in the minority but I include the person running it as well as stereotypical "kid who mocks everything without wit and thinks it makes them cool". They really lost me when they flagged one that was pointing out the obvious that the people evaluating companies have more specialized education than journalists. The denial that experts in their fields might know better than recalls real ugly anti-intellectualism. Personally I think it is more "bad tactics" that bother me. VCs often deserve criticism for a variety of things anf may be oversensitive but this isn't it. It seems more like bullying than calling out. Especially with it so denuded of context (a fundamental problem with Twitter) it seems like twisting of words and context. Anyway rambling aside I wonder how alone I am in this view and if I missed anything.
