You know the only other place I've seen where someone uses 14 different type styles for emphasis is the Time Cube guy and other similar nutjobs.

You should see his PowerPoint presentations ;)

When people try too hard to sound cool, they actually come off sounding like dorks. Of course, McClure has FU money, so his likely response to me would be "_________." (short answer quiz).

I didn't know Zed Shaw and Gary Vaynerchuck had a child. It's always fun to see kids discovering the Internet.

usual McClure style

Boring McClure style

what a meaningful comment to upvote!

To expand, then, borism:

Usual McClure style can often bore me compared to the style of writing compared to Fred Wilson, Steve Blank, etc etc. Isn't it ironic that his ironic writing to be interesting and break the mold is the very thing that turns me off? Kudos to his thoughts, though. It's just that his style leaves much to be desired.

Is that a bit better?

Nope! It was quite a ride and nothing beats a good rant. You the reader chooses the tone in the end anyways. Sometimes you have to yell "I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!"
