> pg seems to frown on job postings here by non-yc companies.
Is that true ? I've seen quite a few of these 'looking for co-founder' posts and never heard anything negative about it.
And I would find that a serious point against Paul if it were true but since I can't recall a single instance of that do you have something to back that up with ?
jacques, you are obviously the exact type of person who should be hanging around here, but you are really too quick to get bent out of shape over unimportant things. just a couple of minutes ago i read a comment from somebody who described dealing with you as 'talking to a brick wall.'
there have been more 'help wanted' ads killed here than i can count. i'm not going to back to find any now, because of your tone. the ones phrased more as 'looking for cofounder' tend not to get killed, but that seems a pretty minor distinction.
What to you is 'unimportant' matters a great deal to me.
If PG would limit access to the forum or kill of posts that would get people connected or employed I'd be out of here in a heartbeat.
I find the suggestion that PG would 'frown' at that a very strong statement against him, and from what I've seen so far I would expect the opposite. That's why I asked for some proof of that sort of behaviour, it is completely contrary to what I would expect. That's a simple follow up question, trust me, when I get bent out of shape you'll know about it.
If there have been more 'help wanted' ads here killed (by PG) than you can count that would diminish not only my view of Paul Graham but also of Y-Combinator as a whole.
What other editors do is not my concern here, PG was singled out specifically.
Um, You seem to have got the wrong end of the stick here. Jacques is not complaining about "help wanted" ads. Further, he doesn't seem to me to be "bent out of shape" at all.
Perhaps your reading of his comment, and the quote within it of the previous comment, is not the same as mine, but your comment seems to be a complete non-sequitur.
I would suggest that it's all a misunderstanding, and that you both consider that there is always the scope for misunderstanding, and don't try to thrash out any single instance.
I will comment no further - I hope this exchange is not prolonged.
