As a YC alum who worked with Gary Tan directly, this is… odd.

Anyone who knows Gary knows he’s a (relatively) gentle human being. I can’t imagine him hurting a fly.

His tweets seem totally out of character compared to the Gary Tan I personally knew. Maybe he has changed?

I’m inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

I am not an alum but I did have a short chat with him about 6 years ago: "gentle" is definitively not how I would describe him, at least from that interaction.

Everybody has a bad day though so I did gave him the benefit of the doubt, but I'm really not surprised by this tweet "scandal" at all and the way he's dealing with it.
