I don't think this is wise on the YC domain. Even if the words are from users of the site it can open nasty doors.

I don't like this lack of transparency. Why not name companies? It would be great (like TechCrunch w/ TechStars) to showcase the opinions of others on the matter.

This isn't an issue of transparency. This is an issue of a direct conflict of interest. I'm all for their names being brought out to the open, but for slanderous remarks to even be housed on a YC server seems to open a possible chink in armor should other incubators become hostile. That was my only point.

It is indeed a diplomatic approach. Less drama is better for business.

it is in the open now:
