And given his own history, this one was hitting fairly close to home.

So many overnight successes, as you know, owe it as much to massive capital injections from angel investors (some of it the product of money laundering) as they do to their own ingenuity.

In Thiel's case, he was also said to have sinister intentions with Facebook - which I doubt Zuckerberg shares. In any case, Facebook can be so much fun sometimes - much like DU is!

But I can't seem to delicately disagree with friends without stomping on and hurting their feelings, so it's better that I say nothing. I'm a bull-in-proverbial china shop when it comes to things which anger me. Here, I can "have at it" - well, pretty much. Or just add to my huge ignore list. I'm just an intolerant old bitch.

God knows I've never picked a fight - but it certainly doesn't mean I haven't rubbed people the wrong way accidentally. So much in life, is just sheer misunderstanding.

Incidentally, I don't think you're bitchy in the least - on the contrary: I find your thoughts witty and if anything, self-effacing. The same applies to almost everyone here.

Here's to snappy repartee, and good times.
