Why is everybody down-voting the guy/gal. Can you at least give an explanation?

Nowhere in their comment did they write something negative about Naval. They just described their interaction, and frankly if this is exactly what happened, I would go out and call it "not friendly" at best.

One unfriendly interaction does not make a person bad, or take away from Naval. We have no idea what his context was, or what he was discussing at the time.

As for OP, I think it is great you shared this. If for nothing for the simple reason that you have just given him a chance to reflect on that and rectify it if it were a mistake.

Isn't this what we want? Honest feedback?
