Do investors read these essays? You've had some strong words for some of the types, e.g. "contemptible subspecies of investor". Would any of them email you and say, hey man, f u?

- ekanes 13y agoEveryone in the community reads these essays. I would hazard that pg's goal in them is to coach both startups AND investors in how to behave toward each other. In this case, such bold language is him saying, "don't be this guy".
