I've known Bijan for a few years now. He's consistently been forthright, honest and remarkably generous with his time. He's also not one to badmouth a company that he and Spark chose not to invest in -- he's classy enough to not take part in a mudslinging match. I don't know what happened -- nor do I expect to find out -- but I'm certain that there's more to this story. And that Bijan navigated what may have been a bad situation with as well as he could. Happily mixing metaphors, I believe that is sour grapes blown out of proportion and then fanned by a TC article.
