No to both. I was responding to PG saying people did not like YC after they were rejected. So, you are proving the point that there is a network and relationship created, even after they dont make the cut. And that is the value I am speaking about. You dont need to defend YC. I am all for it. I am only pointing out that there is value in the people that participate, maybe even more than the ideas.
What I'm saying is that YC did all it could to keep rejected applicants from being ticked off, but that was not enough. Did you read the "Two kinds of judgement" comments?
I was rejected and am not ticked off, but I'm more stubborn and thick-skinned than most. I don't think I'm representative.
