This is taken from the comments on a Naked Conversations blog post about Foldera, in which Shel Israel quite blatantly presents his stupidity to the world. He also quite blatantly presents his inability to spell.
“Yo sound lke an unhappy comeptitor to me. Nothing more.”
Ahaha… classy, Shel! Behold the uneducated, broke and quite happy 19-year-old Norwegian comeptitor! *snicker*
“the company is getting about 35,000 sign ups a day”
Very incorrect. The actual sign-up number is about a tenth of that.
Look looky:

His reply:
So Haarball, on what do you base you potentially slanderous allegation. Have they shared their lists with you? I’ve seen them. I wrote what I did and i stand by my story.
Yo sound lke an unhappy comeptitor to me. Nothing more.
Well, my dear, I base it on the most reliable source there is. Booyah? Love the preconceptions, though; I’d quite fancy being in Silicon Valley as a competitor to Foldera. This was my response at the time:
I’m sorry, Shel? Potentially slanderous allegation?
Jesus Christ. I’m not an “unhappy competitor”, you bloody tart. I’m 19 year-old blogger interested in technology.
Richard Lusk has himself admitted that there aren’t over half a million sign-ups; those are the total number of employees across all the companies that signed up.

Or, what, you think that’s somebody else pretending to be Richard?
Get your facts straight or sod off. Both, preferrably.
Feisty, Haar, FEISTY!
He went silent after that.
Schadenfreude, you F-cking Rock!

What the fuck?

Tis true — I’m here. Now that we know you’re not a competitor, we’ve sorted out the zeros issue, and that you’re a 19 year old interested in technology, let’s get a beta account into your hands in May and get your reaction.
Sincerely,
Michael Sampson
