Sigh. Confusing correlation with causation is exactly the kind of foolish error that I'm talking about.
I think its a very childish response to accuce me of being angry or jealous because I have a different opinion, tht is strongly held.
But its simply dishonest to put words in my mouth like that.
I have not made claims to be great, and I have not said my methods are superior to facebook... nor have I said anything derogatory about YC, especially when YC funds college age students-- I think the college age generation are the perfect candidates for the YC program.
Its really quite sad that you have demonstrated exactly the errors I am pointing out in facebook in your defense of them-- you have reacted in a narrow minded and judgemental way-- attacking me personally, rather than the position I have taken. This kind of political correctness is exactly what Facebook is doing when they don't hire people based on skills, but based on other factors such as age and, well, ideology.
Further irony comes from you attacking my skills when I have not relied on argument based on my "superior" skills, and further, what skills do you have? Not that they would be relevant-- but if you had sufficient skill you should be able to make a counter argument based on the state of the art and advanced techniques. In short, by attacking me, you show you do not understand the technology well enough to make a technological argument, ironic since technical skill is where you criticized me.
Even saying I'm jealous is a childish pathetic personal attack on my skills.
Anyway, for the past 20 days I've been off doing... and you'll notice I have no posts here in that time period. Meanwhile you have made 28 comments here in just the last 3 days.
