And, YC, you can be inconsistent. That's fine with me.
But when you're inconsistent, you should bear a special obligation to be generous and charitable to the people you're disadvantaging. YC didn't live up to that obligation here.
Sounds to me like they were generous, with their time. Kevin called him and they had a conversation... that's more than any other VC will do.
"Asshole VC associate" is not the bar YC is trying to clear.
