Craig does amazing work to support veterans. As someone who helps to run a non-profit aimed at getting more veterans to start tech companies he has been a supreme advocate and has put his money where his mouth is.

He could start by not suing people using Craigslist to build cool apps:

It's ironic that he created a business making classified ads "free" but then sued when someone tried to do it to him...

I think you overestimate his involvement in the day-to-day operations of the company he started.

Actually, I know you do. :-)

Craig's a good guy.

legit personal reference - if you don't know who Jeremy is already. ;)

Your argument is invalid. He made classified ads free. Was he scrapping classified ads himself though?
