I don&amp;#x27;t understand the context, but I don&amp;#x27;t know why you&amp;#x27;d publicly post an email like that when it seems like an earnest attempt to recruit the guy. &amp;quot;No thanks&amp;quot; would suffice. So your cultures don&amp;#x27;t align. You don&amp;#x27;t have to be a dick about it. Maybe you don&amp;#x27;t agree with rap geniuses&amp;#x27; behavior or whatever (I think they&amp;#x27;re entertaining, personally), but posting a private email publicly seems like an incredibly low move unless both parties were cool with it from the start.</text></comment>

It was VERY inspiring, interesting, and just a good time overall. Sure they have a style about them that may put many off, but they hustle and they truly care about their product. That&amp;#x27;s better than a bunch of cynical people talking trash about them online. &amp;#x2F;rant</text></comment>
