I am not sure you are moderating this right.

That comment was very insightful. People hiring product managers would now know how some others in the company think if they brought in friends or candidates with inflated titles.

One of my very talented friends quit his job for the exact reason. There are CTOs who do not know the difference between java and javascript. We tried to hire an accountant who had a title "Advisor to startups" after talking to her for few minutes we had to rethink hiring.

I disagree that it was insightful; it's a collection of clichés that appear here frequently. The phrase "west coast startups" is particularly spurious, putting down a specific region. Generic comments about idiots are bad enough, but provocations about idiot distribution are worse.

The specific experiences you describe in your comment are another matter. That kind of thing is substantive and can be the basis of a thoughtful comment.
