I'm trying to give your comment the benefit of the doubt, but I can't help but read that as "well, beggers can't be choosers so just deal with it".

> I suppose that VCs can compare you to whomever and whatever they like

Generally true of all people, not just VC. Is it not, therefore, reasonable then to in turn judge said person for that behavior?

> when they have money that you are professionally begging for.

Which is cool because they are in the position of power?

Could you clarify? The author did not take the money. Politely declined and moved on.

What do you think I'm trying to say?

If you don't want to be in a position where someone can hold power over you and judge you, then don't put yourself in a position where someone can hold power over you and judge you.

It's that simple.

As a profession supplicant, I'd expect the people I beg to be at least professional as well.

Expect VCs to be unfiltered because they are in the position of power.
