1.) What makes you think this isn't my "real" HN account? Long time lurker, new commentor. Unlike the founders you tear down, you're not using your real name or any identifiable email address or title/company you work for, "Moe." Afraid to put your name on your hateful remarks? Your account is just as throwaway as mine, you can easily create another vitriolic spewing alias safe from any repercussions. How about this - in the interest of open dialogue. Put your money where your big snarky mouth is. I'll say my real name if you say yours.
2.) Ahhhhh where did you offend me? Here for one.
This isn't random. I think it's mean spirited and insensitive that the Greplin/Cue founders and team members are here. Writing under their own names, their classmate from their YC batch is here writing under their own names and after what seems to be a brutal push with no sleep and lots of stress, all you do is swoop in with "bad management" snark and then swoop out.
Asides from that....

notice a pattern?
your nastiness and at best insensitivity and at worst malicious disregard of others is only matched by your arrogance and superiority.
and of course your oh so witty response to Leo Kim of Foursquare, when he rightly called you out on making tests to make mongo fail .... I reached the same conclusion he did.
Troll.
Let's disregard for a minute, your obvious gaping technical knowledge and your sheer lack of Silicon Valley business acumen. Let's say you managed you convince PG that you aren't a prick and somehow you get into YC. In your weekly meet ups would you ever say any of the above comments to peoples' faces?
HN is suppose to an extension of YC, a place where hackers can come together, take about things of interests, their own projects, start ups, etc. Your entire comment history is subversive to that and completely against the guidelines:
"Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face to face conversation.
When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is an idiotic thing to say; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3." "
Hacker news would be better off without you, you and people like you are bringing a cynical, negative, schadenfreude cloud over what is suppose to a culture centered around idealism, optimism and wanting to change the world- not insulting those that do.
