I have three phrases for Y Combinator blog commenters:

BENCH WARMERS.

TROLLS.

LOSERS WHO HAVE NEVER TAKEN RISKS IN THEIR LIVES OR OPENED THEMSELVES TO PUBLIC OR PERSONAL ATTACK.

I read the Y Combinator news feed. Major drama from some nutjob who ruined his company and was a douchebag. Ha ha.

Cool. Now what's next.

I read the TechCrunch page. Now what's next.

What's Apple working on next?

Ok. What's Google working on next?

Ok, I found out. Now, what's next?

What does Tim O'Reilly say is the next thing?

Ok. What does Cory Doctorow say is the next thing?

Ok. What does Andy Baio's link blog say is the next thing?

If you comment on tech blogs like this, you're probably a loser. People who accomplish things don't have time to leave comments in tech blogs unless there are stories written about them.

That means if you are reading this, you are probably a loser.

Sorry, fags.
