I love this blog post about why Jason Lemkin’s post about passing on a pitch because the pitch deck said March instead of May is a good and normal post. Without this informative content we would not know that Jason Lemkin‘s post was not at all off putting or ridiculous, and we are rightfully brought up to speed on how cool it was, in fact.


Also, "caused an outrage" apparently means "barely got any traction". <200 likes, barely any retweets, even the 30 or so replies weren't as confrontational as I was lead to believe by that intro.

I guess "VC was wrong and nobody really gave a shit" doesn't have the same ring to it.

This is a good point. When something looks like Jason Lemkin posting something ridiculous on social media, it is actually an opportunity for us to learn of both his fame and the normalcy of his opinions, as well as to be reminded of the high portion of VCs that are good human beings.
