Last week we found out that one employee of OMGPOP, creators of Draw Something, decided not to join Zynga as the company was bought up. Shay Pierce, explained his reasons in this very balanced and well articulated opinion piece on Gamasutra. Apparently this didn't sit well with Dan Porter, OMGPOP CEO and during the weekend he tweeted the following not so well articulated and thought out phrases:

What's so interesting about success is the number of failures who try to ride on your back. Shay Pierce is just one of many...

Selfish people make bad games. Good riddance!

Indie celebrity and Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson, responded to Porter's tweet with the following tweet of his own:

"You're an insane idiot."

Porter then deleted his tweets and offered an apology. And while it is natural to be disappointed in employees deciding to leave in this kind of way it should be noted that Porter probably exposed why he's probably not an ideal candidate for an executive position at publicly traded Zynga.
