Kathy - as we are all trying to reboot things here, let's try to assume the best and not the worst of people. I am talking about me, I am not here to represent Marc Andreessen. I think you can look at my track record, and how Waze was built and managed, and get an idea of who I am. Regardless - give me a chance to screw up (which I will, often) and criticize the real screwups. I took an investment from Andreessen Horowitz (A16Z) the VC firm, not Marc personally. They have backed a sizable amount of the internet services we all use. I am not here to represent the VC world, or the banks, or the corporations, or oil companies - I am here representing Post, the team, and myself. A16Z owns a minority share of the company, as does Scott Galloway and employees of the company. I am the largest shareholder and control the company Marc is not a board member or involved with the company, a different partner is I explained most of this in my post this morning. As a matter of corporate governance - the investors or the board do not have access to algorithms, data, privacy or any other personal information, and it is not something I would ever allow nor would any other CEO. Let's focus on the product and the community. Take your beef with Marc to Marc and A16Z and lets try and build something great together

On Post, @kathygriffin challenges Noam about Andreessen and he starts backing away (see screenshot). To which Kathy responded:
"Please don’t try to gaslight anyone on Marc Andreessen, of all people.
"Please understand that real world people had no clue about who Elon Musk and Peter Theil were, much less the destruction we didn’t catch in time. You didn’t HAVE to go to AH. You could’ve self funded."
