- kyro 14y agoYou're looking for Dave McClure.
- soneca 14y agoNot me, I like people being polite with me. Which doesn't mean these messages couldn't be more informal and direct. But "you suck" is not impersonal, is rude. I have my ego pretty much under control, exagerated compliments won't do any damage here.
- RougeFemme 14y agoAgreed. I would rather rate boilerplate than rate no response at all.
- mbetter 14y agoGreat comment.
- eli 14y agoLike they say, the second best answer you can get from a VC is a quick no.
- michaelochurch 14y agoI prefer when people are realistic. Polite and impolite are immaterial. VC boilerplate is etiquette, which means formalized behavior designed to reduce conflict, but also at the expense of communication. It's not really about politeness, so much as being noncommital both ways.
