The better question to ask of Michael Church would be what hasn't happened to him, from his perspective. (Then disregard his answer.)

What do you mean "Did something happen to you?" The comment by moc is a pretty standard moc comment.

(Just curious to know what you meant)

His view is that in the valley, the VC investor relationship to founders is more like an employer/employee relationship.

I happen to think that is true to some extent. For all the...excess...in MoC's commentary, there are kernels of truths that people who have drunk the SV/VC kool aide are made uncomfortable by.
