That also applies to "Not behaving in a way that damages the reputation of his/her company or of YC."

I agree with what you say downthread about "the demands of honesty", and so insofar as mchurch believes what you believe he believes, I disagree with him (ha, how convoluted).

Absolutely agree! For what it's worth: though I have received an unfavorable reference at least once in my career, I've never actually given one.
