Term Sheet Manners

Man I wish someone had told me this before I started in business, but Fred Wilson perfectly sums up the best approach to dealing with revisions to legal documents. I have to do a TON of these, and I find every time it gets the least bit difficult or contentious is when we’re going back and forth with redlines and not actually talking. 95% of the time, talking rapidly clears up every issue. It kind of amazes me so many people to try to go through this without talking.

Talking? Like ... actual communication?

Sir, you offend me. The year is 2009. There is no more talking. Should you have a grievance, please communicate it in a 140 text message.

GOOD DAY SIR.
