I regret that you've had this experience here. For some of us, the success of startups is quite understandably an emotional issue, though that doesn't excuse bad behavior like insulting your photo.
For the most part though, we primarily value respectful rational discussion and I apologize again for catching some of us on a bad day.
One of the things I noticed at Startup School was that people were so busy talking about substance (hacking, business, etc.), that there was little time for fluff.
In any large group there are outliers. You found a few.
OTOH, I noticed you referred to us as "groupies" on your blog, but omitted that sentence in this reply. I'm guessing you knew it would be inflammatory here.

Nerds. Geeks. Weirdos. Bipolar obsessive compulsive basket cases. Fine.
But groupies? (Throws pocket protector at pg on stage.)
Yeah, I'm not a groupie. pg has said time and again how he doesn't want us to be groupies and I don't want to disappoint pg!
