Yeah, it is, a bit. Don't get too worked up over this, guys. We're just trying to cook up a new model for seed funding, not starting a cult.

Does this mean I have to tear down my PG posters and little statue I built?

Well, Y Combinator is lead by a guru who possesses arcane powers and who recruits young boys over the internet to travel far away from their homes to live in the YScraper (aka The Compound) and work for below minimum wages with the promise of epic wealth and enlightenment.

Actually I'm not a big fan of that building. It's too expensive.

Have you thought about buying some land in Guyana, clearing out the brush, and starting a new settlement...?

Guys. I apologize to anyone who felt this is too serious for this audience.The item wasn't focused on YC, but to whatever you are seeking. What I am saying is that in every journey they will come decisive moments, but what is more important is how we react to those moments. I wasn't suggesting that you should eat, drink, sleep and breath startup (although I do, but then again, I am no role model) as in a cult but really simply showing people what I have experienced here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47232. In other words there is more to YC then being accepted

Not really a big deal. It just sounded overdramatized. PG has written things that came across the wrong way too.

Idea: you mentioned starting a city in the past. This summer when I was driving my wife and her parents around Oregon[1], we happened to drive through the ex-Rajneeshpuram[2]. If you could get a decent internet connection happening, that would be a great place to build a hackerville - it's beautiful country, has a lot of facilities already there, and hey, maybe you can start your own collection of Rolls Royces. I don't want to have to dress up in orange though.

I apologize if yesterday's post sparked some sort of mushy reflection on rejection. Not my intention, honestly.
