To be frank, you are trying way too hard to impose Bay Area Passive-Aggressive Culture on the rest of us. It's not a "personal attack" to acknowledge the low quality and demonstrated immaturity in someone's message-board post. It's necessary. It keeps all of us in check (and, yes, even I need to be kept in check from time to time). It's also not "negativity" to point out that there's a lot of moral rot and frank stupidity going on (and that will hurt all of us, when the chickens come home to roost) in the Bay Area tech scene. The best way to keep Clinkles rare is to bash them mercilessly when they happen. One of the reasons why the Bay Area is such a horrible place right now (and it wasn't always that way) is that the leading venture capitalists are people with absolutely no sense of shame about anything, because they've warped the "anything goes" California culture of the 1960s into this idea that they can fund Clinkles and not be mocked for it. Bring in a few proper Northerners wielding Hammers of Judgment, and it will change.
There are times when ridicule is the most potent moral force, and we are in one such era. To block it, under the supposition that it's "negative", is to foster a world in which no one knows right from wrong, quality from garbage, up from down or left from right. It's to create a world in which grown men and women wearing unicorn costumes on Youtube to promote their businesses, is tolerated. (See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMJIBxtDUHc ). Fuck that shit.
I don't attack anonymous Internet identities "personally". I attack stupidity, and it's a necessary function.
