The VCs have basically filled technology with petty high-school drama. By funding people like Jack Dorsey and Evan Speigel, they're directly responsible for the toxic climate.
The fact that Paul Graham goes to extremes to manicure the reputation of the VC-funded ecosystem deserves attention. Why? Because it shows the underlying weakness of this system. Things that are strong can stand to have bad things said about them, because the truth favors them.

Where by "manicure the reputation of the VC-funded ecosystem" you mean "autokilling comments with the token 'circlejerk' in them". Got it.
This was written before pg's comment.
What difference does that make?
