> The length of the mockery

Snarkiness, Mockery, Sarcasm are very strongly discouraged or outright “banned” depending on context. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21187460 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23482110

Your “replies” are not engaging, and it feels like you are mocking me with strawman shit I never said. That is very unpleasant, and nobody likes that. You have read an awful lot into sentences where I am just trying to be factual.

You have no idea what I think about VCs morally, so why are you responding with moral points?

For example: “To assume that venture capital exists without the primary motivation and purpose of making money is misleading at best and delusional more generally”. Who are you arguing against? Who assumes what? And “delusional” is an unpleasant flamebait word.

>> I admit my second comment wasn’t much better, sorry.

> Placing venture capitalists within some special class whose reasoning or motivations are beyond the understanding of most people is where I take umbrage

I mean, where is your reply even connected to what you quoted? Are you just baiting?

The quality of your two comments is extremely low in my opinion. Please, reread the guidelines (I do regularly), and try and learn to follow the unwritten standards the community follows.
