Yet people on this site are desperate to defend SV and put it on a pedestal, which is the problem. It wasn't flamebate at all, I'm not rationalizing bad behavior. What I said was 100% fine, except the part about getting flagged.

I just said they were entitled. I did call them jerkoffs, but they consider themselves the "most impactful people on the planet", so that's fair.

Even if that poster isn't from SV, this is a common attitude you hear from people in the area, on a site about the area. It doesn't matter that most commenters aren't from SV. This in no way degrades discussion.

Your response is filled with fallacies. Do both of us a favor and save your chastising. If you want to ban me for arguing with you go ahead. I don't really post comments like this very often and you can ban if you don't like what I say in the future.

There's no need to talk down to me. This is wasted energy.
