      Jessica told me this was the 4th post she's written about why she's reluctant to speak out online. The first 3 she didn't publish.

          Blogging or tweeting anonymously seems like an option if one wanted to share. It's work without any credit, though.

          I'm not buying that she really cares about "insider" information spreading. She doesn't even have the courage share what she "knows."

          I can completely relate. I've learned a ton via startup experience. But worry about offending people if I share

          So I go this route: "The optimal plan...is to have a few trusted friends you can speak openly to." (But creates risk of echo chamber)

          I don't think it's possible to avoid haters. Unless haters stop feeling entitled to and jealous towards wealth and fame of others.

          does seems like there are some VCs who reach a certain escape velocity of success, fame & in turn are able to be pretty candid

          Alternative thought that complements shared one: people working for SV big COs also reluctant to express opinion against Thiel et al.

          Not to talk about small shots who are very knowledgeable, contrary to reductionism of "contrarians" in SV, who don't talk bc of "vested" $.
