@estherderby @gdinwiddie @daverooneyca @mattbarcomb @squarepegsys Wow. You should read his "Demoting a Loyal Friend" #mustbeaparodyblog

@tastapod @estherderby @gdinwiddie @daverooneyca @mattbarcomb @squarepegsys It’s not a parody. He’s a famous VC now.

@mtnygard somehow, knowing he's a famous VC doesn't change my perception of him one iota from reading his blog...

@tastapod @mtnygard That perception being he's an ass? You have read bhorowitz.com/2012/04/25/our…, right?

@stilkov @mtnygard the perception being his management style and treatment of people is ass. His philanthropy is admirable (but why half?)

@tastapod I think we interpreted the point differently. You see it as undervaluing people; I see it as making a tough decision that's needed
