[anotherfounder]

As a response to both dang and emmett, I'm honestly surprised by the strong defensive nature of both your responses. It's what I'd expect from old-school VCs, not YC.

Both appsec112 and infamia already responded to each of your nitpicks, and we can slice and dice categories, labels and phrasing till the cows come home but I was hoping for a more substantive, introspective or atleast a thoughtful response to the original thread.

Maybe there will be a better forum for this conversation some day but as an under-represented founder, this feels like a cynically but not surprisingly another disappointing conversation.
