Also, the gawker article used as the source for the Buzz feed comments doesn't read as being about age at all.
Given the two strikes at the first two things I've looked at it just calls into credibility the whole article - which is a shame, as there probably a good conversation about age to be had.
Still in denial mode?

Suggesting I'm in denial mode is unhelpful - as I've already said there is a good conversation about age to be had.
Even if there were no such specific, personally identifiable quote -- should we deny that there are v.high-level players in SV who indulge in and (apparently) support ageism?
