Sequoia is just asking for trouble by kicking one of its great, old school investors to the curb. Who is working for who, anywho? Now that Yale has been excluded from the club, they might take their ball and leave the playground, and draw other investors to new investment firms like the Pied Piper.

Will Sequoia outlive Yale? Unlikely. Sequoia has forgotten that it is the entrepreneur and the VC in this case is Yale. Sequoia has just commited hara-kiri. Just wait and see.
