Dave Ambrose / @daveambrose : when the Internet is frustrated and looks for questions, this is a template on how to respond - classic @ProductHunt http://twitter.com/... Lane Wood / @lanewood : Lots of respect for the @producthunt crew. @rrhoover + @eriktorenberg have integrity not seen from many SF founders. http://medium.com/... Josh Dickson / @joshdickson40 : This response is literally a list of logical fallacies. http://twitter.com/... Mark Devlin / @sparkzilla : @joshdickson40 Woo! After all that criticism, the action is to update the FAQ. Josh Dickson / @joshdickson40 : Original critique hits at editorial process and selections, Hoover talks equality in upvotes. Ridiculous.
