      It takes a lot for the Internet to surprise me, but the general reaction to Zuck's letter did it.

      @sama I think the reason you're surprised is that not being a loser yourself you underestimate the power of envy.

          @paulg @sama Look, the way he intends to 'structure' it, it's a fraud designed more for 'P.R.' then anything else.

          @paulg @sama A lot of people taking this out of context. It's simply saying that a lot of the negative reactions are based on envy...

          @paulg @sama I think "envy" isn't the reason. It's attitude problem of some to find issues with each and every thing. Attention seekers!

          @paulg @sama so the implicit message is that anybody who isn't a millionaire is a loser. 😤😧

          @paulg @sama Some people place equality as such a high moral that it trumps all others & feel angry that not everyone has exactly the same.
