I sent him an e-mail asking if he would reconsider a fairly absurd trademark infringement claim against our startup (http://techcrunch.com/2013/05/17/with-friends-joke-goes-here...). He forwarded my e-mail to their corporate counsel, completely throwing out any desire to work with us and leave the lawyers out of it. Pincus has forever gone down in my book as a scumbag. He's the farthest thing from startup friendly that I can think of; I heard he was going to start a startup incubator a year or two ago. I think you'd have to be desperate or crazy to want to work with a guy like that.
