Go read Stewart Butterfield’s resignation letter on Valleywag.

OK? Now read the comments.

No real focus on the story, just he’s crazy, he’s on drugs, and above all he’s not funny.

When was the last time anyone agreed on what was funny? “It’s not funny” might be an opening sentence but by itself it’s not an argument for anything other than your own ego.

I’ve no idea what this letter is all about but that doesn’t matter to me. What I love is that this guy seems to be the kind of guy who can’t do anything the way you’re supposed to do it. Maybe that’s why he’s so successful.
