I'm concerned that many comments on this suggest that the problem is that the CEO needs better PR. It's scarier to me that this sort of behavior could hide behind PR. For tech in general I think ethics needs to be considered more than PR, as that's the heart of the matter. Clearly, those who've signed up for Livecoding are somewhat scared that this team has their data. I understand YC can't run these companies, but I think we do look at YC investment as a sort of assurance that this sort of thing won't happen.

I have never 'spammed' livecoding.tv nor have I ever been warned or banned by their support team (or by any online company for that matter). I don't have a website. I'm not in Indiana, either. (I decided to reply to my own comment, as I don't want to agitate the situation by directly replying to the other comment).

You obviously don't trust the motives of the people posting here. That's fine, but perhaps you could phone whoever is your contact at YC for some friendly advice? Their interests are aligned with yours.

I really get the impression that you don't see how bad your comments in this thread are. It's difficult when you're in the middle of something to take a step back and see it from other peoples perspective but you would really do yourself a favour if you just stopped posting here altogether at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if the op took your posts and made them into a follow-up blog post.

How do you think pseudo-doxxing someone on a message board helps you at this point? This is just creepy.
