Romantic rival 'a great human being'

SEAN PARKER — Well, I just saw your piece. Until I got your email, I wasn't aware that there had been prank attacks on Yelp. You are completely out of your mind and totally off base with this one. I really like what Yelp is doing, I think it's a great model, and a very well-designed product which has succeeding in building an incredibly loyal user community. Liza, the girl who Jeremy Stoppelman and I both dated, is a very active user of Yelp and I read her reviews religiously. I wish I'd had a chance to invest in the company. I also think Jeremy has demonstrated himself to be a great leader and I know from personal experience that he is a great human being. Sean Parker is a serial entrepreneur, a founder of both Napster and Facebook, as close as Silicon Valley gets to a wild man, victim of venture capitalists who weren't amused by his eccentricity, and now an investor himself with Peter Thiel's Founders Fund.
