This is worth less to me coming from Fred Wilson. Look, it isn't his fault, but the reality is I've read Fred Wilson's blog for some time, including the comments, and 99% of his comments are adulation. They have an undertone of "You're a VC with money and I want you to like me so I'm going to heap praise on you"
The second I see Fred Wilson throwing down on Hacker News or Reddit I'll respect his opinion in this area a lot more But right now he's just having a conversation with those who love him (or pretend to) and that's something almost everyone would be in favor of.

- TomOfTTB 17y agoI stand corrected.
- jlees 17y agoHe's not really talking about his own comments, though; more comments on professional news publications, which aren't usually fanboying to him ;) An excellent argument against comment sections on newspaper articles is http://www.dailymail.co.uk http://www.dailymail.co.uk, however.
