I agree with ajju, hate is totally the wrong word to use. Both parties simply have different interests. In this case, Sequoia wanted liquidity on their investment (the economy is in a downturn after all), while from what I understand Tony wanted to stay independent so that he could continue to run his company. I don't think that this in any way shows that Sequoia hates Tony though. If the articles are true, it definitely casts a bit of a shadow on Sequoia. Having a reputation for wanting to cash out at any moment certainly isn't good when trying to court entrepreneurs.
