      @patrickc @gaberivera ...and it feels to many like arrogance (implication: "I am powerful/privileged so my opinions count more")

      @RurikBradbury @gaberivera I was talking about Twitter, not essays. But either way, I'm in favor of powerful people expressing their views.

      @RurikBradbury @gaberivera If wrong, this makes them *easier* to criticize and reject.

      @patrickc @RurikBradbury FWIW, I love all of it, and am glad it's there for me to read. But if I were giving career advice to some of these…

      @patrickc …people, I'd tell some to try another platform, tell some to find a new hobby, and tell some to just keep on tweeting!

      @gaberivera So this is an interesting point. I often feel like we vilify people with mistaken ideas far too much.

      @gaberivera Now, many of those are not exactly people who face a whole lot of adversity on the whole. So, on some level, who cares?

      @gaberivera On the other hand, I suspect net effect is to make most shy away from saying much at all.

      @gaberivera (I'm not powerful but I certainly steer clear of asserting much that could be controversial.)

      @patrickc @gaberivera humility is great & all. but do you really believe you are not as powerful as the vc's referenced here?

      @lorakolodny No. I have a little ex officio stature as result of association with promising startup. But no delusions of power beyond that.
