The responses in that Dropbox thread were pretty solid though. To all the naysayers, I mean. It's sort of a ritual format to test any new idea with the back and forth. That in and of itself isn't a problem. Real problems: Dismissive people who don't/can't/wont listen to good responses. Good founders/ideas but just really bad at communicating.
