On one hand, SV is full of sociopathic founders who'd torture you for breakfast just for the giggles. On the other, being a founder is incredibly hard and very stressful, and when you are stressed lines get murky, and you sometimes do things that you wouldn't do if you took a moment to rest.

I wouldn't immediately assume bad intentions where bad decisions in search for good outcomes were made. To know which one it was, one has to first know the people really well, and know them both when the times were good and the times were bad.

Someone once told me: "Never assume, you make an ass of you and me (ass|u|me)."
