(Maybe it's just me being overly... I don't know the word, but overly something...:) > And It’s funny to see those comments on a site titled “HackerNews.” It's as if he's trying to guilt people here into thinking "oh, that's true! Startups have to disrupt! Therefore it's okay for him to fuck with stuff because he's a startup! It's okay!". Which to me is really really lame. Let people form their own opinions. The social experiment was people giving to others, for the experiment succeed it required people to pay it forward, for it to fail it'd require people to not pay it forward, based on Jonathan's reply[1] to the entire situation I think it's pretty clear there was never the intention or expectation that someone asshat would come along and take all the money. Why they're still trying to justify this and won't just accept they shit all over something good is beyond me, maybe they're that desperate for publicity that this is all they can do.
