You very much seem to be, while talking about how privileged he is and how much worse everyone else has it. Sometimes people who are offended genuinely don't realize it, and need to be told by dozens or hundreds of people saying "dude, you're lashing out, cool it."
If you're Thomas Ptacek the security person, I wonder if you realize that people are jealous of you, too. (Yes, even though you earned what you have.)
This will be a very difficult Thanksgiving for me, while I try to keep my startup alive.
I sympathize with the guy who just lost more money than I'm likely ever to have. Even though I have it worse than he does. I don't actually want someone telling him to keep it quiet on my behalf.
Maybe the next time you're on a down streak, you'll remember sympathy.
It's easy to forget that even with privilege, failure hurts and is scary.
