Update to the update...my profile is now back, again with accusations of spam: https://www.livecoding.tv/lazer/
Since the username was available again, probably someone else could have created a new profile with the username lazer.
The other profile details are different, though. I am inclined to believe it's a troll as well.
I have noticed a recurring theme with YC companies. Many of them....let's just say that they weren't selected for the strength of their technical implementation or people skills. A good example of this is Magic. This is a site that few people probably remember, but they raised $12M at a $40M valuation after 2 weeks in existence back in March. More than 7 months after raising this money, the company, whose entire busi…
You might dislike Ycombinator because of whatever reason from the past, but Ycombinator is overall by any objective measure very successful in building companies. Am not saying this just because I was in Ycombinator - if you are honest to yourself you will agree.
Well, it looks like my profile is back again...again with accusations of spam... https://www.livecoding.tv/lazer/
Wow. This could be another user re-creating the account to create drama, though. Is the rest of the profile info (favorite line of code, etc.) the same? I wouldn't call it impossible, but this seems like such a deliberately bad move that I can't even believe it was done by livecoding.tv
Commenters here should be considering scenarios in which glee would not be a humane response to all this.

I'm concerned that many comments on this suggest that the problem is that the CEO needs better PR. It's scarier to me that this sort of behavior could hide behind PR. For tech in general I think ethics needs to be considered more than PR, as that's the heart of the matter. Clearly, those who've signed up for Livecoding are somewhat scared that this team has their data. I understand YC can't run these companies, but I…
I have never 'spammed' livecoding.tv nor have I ever been warned or banned by their support team (or by any online company for that matter). I don't have a website. I'm not in Indiana, either. (I decided to reply to my own comment, as I don't want to agitate the situation by directly replying to the other comment).

It will be honest if you could disclaim your name to the people reading here so they know how to intepret your comments here. Not good if you just hide your face and troll.
You have completely destroyed your company. And now you seem hell bent on destroying your own reputation. If this wasn't so fucked up, it would be sad.
It seems to me that this guy ("Dr" Michael Garbade) is just a complete fraud. His supposed doctoral thesis can be found here: http://www.slideshare.net/mjmjg/differences-in-venture-capit... I mean, just read this small snippet. It honestly seems like it was written by an average high school freshman... ========================================== 1.2 Research Objectives Although there are certainly differences in the v…
A German PhD can't write good English and you use that to proclaim him a "fraud"? Do you have any real evidence? No?

This has gone beyond PR disaster theater and become an outlier. I've temporarily banned Michael's account until it is resolved. Commenters here should be considering scenarios in which glee would not be a humane response to all this.
Maybe I'm just having a brainfart, but I simply don't understand this sentence at all, and I really would like to. I'm really not trying to troll you, I just feel like this is an interesting statement that could use some clarification :)
