Andreessen Horowitz to give half their earnings to charity

Yeah, it's a difficult subject. People are passionate about money. But kudos for owning up to your post... I made a ad hominem awhile back and someone was kind enough to point it out, thought I'd pass around the favor :)

I take it you think one should donate to charity anonymously, but humblebrags are ok? ;)

I just wanted to add that I actually think wealth and investment accomplishments are somewhat relevant in this discussion, regarding your comment on fallacies. Especially given jimmyvanhalen's very strong opinions on what "a VCs job" is, what a16z "should" do, and his confused ending statement on that what they did would be fine by him if they did... Exactly what they are doing.

Don't you agree?

I wasn't bragging. I was trying to relate...I made an ad hominem attack and was called out on it.

I don't really have an opinion on the actual thing being discussed though, other than my comments back and forth with "paul"

I.e., trolling. Yeah, I know.

These are my actual beliefs and I'm arguing their merit civilly. Unpopular != Troll.
