Do better? No, Tan and YC need to understand this will impact their image.

Free speech has consequences. And speech that has unhinged threats (even if it has a disclaimer that it's not) has potential consequences with law enforcement.

I don't think it's out of line for someone who's investing their time and effort into an organization to be critical of leadership.

nobody is saying free speech doesn't have consequences. I'm saying taking money and reputation has consequences too.

But at what point do 'consequences' start to negate the 'free' in speech?

I'd argue you have reached the limits of free speach the moment there are consequences for just the speech.
