From the article:
Mr. Srinivasan said they could not let that kind of story gain traction.
“If things get hot, it may be interesting to sic the Dark Enlightenment audience on a single vulnerable hostile reporter to dox them and turn them inside out with hostile reporting sent to their advertisers/friends/contacts,” Mr. Srinivasan said in an email viewed by The New York Times
- thesausageking 6y agoI've generally sided with Balaji in his feud with the NYTimes, but that's a pretty damning thing to say. Even more concerning now that a16z has its own media organization and is basically trying to cut out existing media like the NYTimes.

- mst 6y agoI'm increasingly of the opinion that Balaji deserves the NYT almost as much as the NYT deserves Balaji.
