I'm a tech aficionado with a lot of passion and eagerness to share what I learn. Likewise, I like connecting with other people, whether they are involved in the Startup community or not. If you ever want to suggest me something, complain or simply talk about anything at all, please let me know. My door is always open.

You admitted previously that there's companies with remote cultures that are tremendously successful. By definition of their very existence, they have replaced "face time with online" - which you claim can't happen.

I disagree, those labels have many aims, none of which are good and most of which seem to be a form of ending conversations before any meaningful conclusion is reached.

That was my perception of that person's posts as well.

This is my exact experience when asking questions about a broad subject that has to do with politics. You get downvoted, therefore information doesn't flow properly your way, which leaves people just as ignorant as they come in and resentful that they get punished for asking serious questions in a respectful tone.
