This is rather silly. I don't even see why this is even an issue - this blog post has zero value for anyone reading.
This "Kevin" is probably some HR figure, posting on MicrosoftCareers.com. His response was an one-sided, canned response.
And Derrick is someone who started his career at Microsoft, left the company, and went to work on a startup. According to his website, he's not proud enough about it to announce that he worked at Microsoft, but he's happy to bash some content on Microsoft's jobs website.
The two sides have clear bias, except that the former (Kevin) has made his associations clear, and the latter has not. It's hard to take someone seriously when they purposefully hide their past associations that puts a strong bias on an opinion piece.
If OP really was just communicating to "Kevin", then maybe instead of making a blog post, he should just follow up directly with Kevin, instead of whining on a public blog and twisting his words by snipping off a large part of Kevin's response with ellipsis.
Svbtle really needs to die off, especially with these kind of lame posts that pander to startup circlejerk. As soon I see the Svbtle logo I close my browser tab because it's going to be inane crap like this.
