Calm down man.. This forum is focused on startup news, and pg is just trying to moderate and maintain a high SNR by keeping threads on topic and relatively clean.


That was a completely calm response. PG is engaging in exactly the behaviour he was accusing me of. I don't see how "namecalling" is keeping a high signal to noise ratio.


You're right - maybe pg didn't express himself in the right way.

However - you have to forgive him. He's just trying to prevent News.YC from turning into reddit.

I think all he's asking is that you (and everyone else here) make a concerted effort to not engage in flame wars, pointless arguments, personal attacks, etc. Let's just try to keep these discussions intelligent and courteous.
