IIRC, you've said things more along the lines of "VC interests are often not aligned with founders' interests" and "VC funding isn't really my cup of tea". Amy Hoy and 37signals/Basecamp are the ones who ardently speak out against VC funding as a business strategy.

Sorry. As my sibling poster pointed out, I think I mixed you up with other pro-bootstrap/anti-VC writers.

The idea that one would like or dislike someone to the extent that the person confirms their biases. Not that it's an offensive thought; just that it's a handicap.
