Anil Dash @anildash.com · Jun 2 If you want to see what happens when you call out a killer who works at A16Z, this is an email from a guy who *I used to work with* many years ago, CCing Penny. These dudes do not quit!

Is he doing some sort of egg head solidarity with andreesen?
Time to book some slots on Dave’s calendly…
Sort of dying to know how you got ahold of it
Should we all book a calendy then?
I wonder if I can get some time on his calendar.
You're dealing with some serious mental illness with this one.
i am always saying WKTIADIAIA
lol he’s also posting about you on his LinkedIn!
“Teach him a lesson” is a very serious and stupid thing for a person to put in an email. You wouldn’t be overreacting to report him.
Nothing says psycho more than keeping your Skype name in your signature.
Last line sure sounds like an expression of intent to do harm!
It really, really burns at the soul of an incompetent man to know that the pinnacle of his career was a job he had at a company I helped create, but where his role was brief and forgettable.
"Another Slander By Anil Dash" needs to be the title of your third album
WTaF? It's stuff like this that makes AI generated email more appealing.
Can’t wait for a sternly written op-ed about how David wasn’t actually mad or owned in whatever billionaire owned rag pays him the most money for the spot
That is some vile stuff, that email.
Judge a man not by his friends, but by his enemies
What a little snitch tagging weasel. Notice the "we" trying to ingratiate himself into a16z
Looked this dude up on LinkedIn & holy shit you have a whole rent-free luxury penthouse suite in his head.
"I think it's time we teach him a lesson" fuck these monsters
Welp, I'm now an official Anil Dash follower 🤣
posted his calendly in a burn skeet and dude's days are still wide open. oof.
God this is so gross. Good on you for calling this crap out.
I can’t get over that they still have Skype contact in their signature
it is very funny to send threatening emails but leave your full ass christian name and Skype handle in the email sig
Watching whiteness work is never pretty.
"He's calling you a murderer, so let's prove him wrong by...'teach[ing] him a lesson'?" What does that mean, Dave? 🤔
I mean, dude lists Skype in his footer. Is he calling from 2010?
Unhinged on all levels, including the Skype tag in the sig 😔
Petulant fascists everywhere you look
He... is a murderer?! Even though he believed it was for valor. Man, at least be better about lying, rich dingbat a**holes.
More like David Ballick, really
In 2026, anyone who has Skype listed in their email signature has already lost.
Dril Tweet once again relevant
JFC 😡
I think you should ask him what kind of lesson he thinks you need. Because their new hire has only 1 specific set of skills.
*wanders in, puts this on the table, wanders out*
Question for David: was it slander to call OJ Simpson a murderer after he was acquitted?
There’s some AI-auto-suggested joke in there. ‘Would you like to schedule “The Lesson” via the provided Calendly link?’
F both these guys. How did a copy of this get to you? It looks like it was between the two of them?
Does skype even exist anymore?
How is he going to teach you a lesson, exactly? 🤨
Sounds like a mobster for capital. "Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) is a venture capital firm in Silicon Valley, California,"
"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent"
Wow everyone running wild in the south in the 60s must be jealous they didn’t capture the attention of the wealthy in this manner. Where were the no-work VC jobs for the Klansmen?
Cc'ing my buddy on a threatening email because he's absolutely not a psychopath
