Are you thinking of this thread? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8982742 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8982742 (I find particular amusement in rereading Moritz's post in that thread.) I would doubt anyone who claimed to be unbiased with his history It's certainly possible that a mysterious GitHub error revoked my commit access late one night, but the timing seems suspicious. I'll own up to my mistakes, but the rewriting of history seems unfair.

> Are you thinking of this thread? With regard to you admitting bias? I don't recall specifically, we discussed it in depth a few times, so it could very well have been a feeling I left with and not a specific statement (and I'll fully admit I might have been projecting). > I would doubt anyone who claimed to be unbiased with his history What I meant was that was that anyone who has a complicated past where they feel misrepresented and that they were treated unfairly is bound to be biased in some way, and to claim otherwise would show a lack of introspection. It wasn't meant to be insulting, or something I thought you should feel the need to defend, it's more a general worldview of mine. Bias is hard to overcome and harder to eliminate. There's plenty of things I would like to think I'm unbiased about, but in reality I'm probably not. I'm getting a strong feeling of Deja Vu. I think we may have had this discussion or one like it previously.
