I heard a good one about Paddy Cosgrave a few months ago which really made me question the guys sanity. Underneath a news article about the Web Summit someone posted a half critical remark about the Summit becoming more of a pissup than anything else anymore, that small start ups would struggle to afford the entrance fees which had grown and grown.
Paddy took exception to the comment and obviously went and researched the commenter (who had posted under their Facebook account). He sent an email to the guy and CC’d your man’s boss, who happens to be one of Ireland’s great tech success stories as well as someone who works under PC in the Web Summit who went to school with the commenter (he must gone through mutual friends on FB to discover this). The email was a long winded defense and had slight digs in it. He obviously sent it to embarrass the guy who commented in front of his boss and mate. The tech boss called up the lad (who was shitting himself a bit) up to his office and told him that PC was considered a bit of a joke by the tech community.
This was a week before the Web Summit, the same week where Cosgrave moaned about the Wi-FI and obviously hadn’t the right contingencies in place. He had important internet arguments to settle.You’d admire him but he’s clearly a bit nuts.
From Planet rugby forum. Quoting in this doesn’t work so just C&P.
Just move on and make your money. He’s got a strong case of the DOB and Donald Trump megalomania
