perhaps this is off-topic, but what personally bugs me most, as a gay man, is that Mr Thiel can hold such a huge grudge for so long about being outed. is it so humiliating for you that other people know you're gay, Mr Thiel? i must add a disclaimer, of course: i am strongly against outing people like that (barring some exceptions, like anti-gay politicians). it is wrong, and Gawker should be punished for it. but i would expect that Mr Thiel feels at least some relief that the secret is out. and that this would enable some degree of letting go, and that the whole thing would die down. but, no. instead, 10 years of litigation... alternatively, Mr Thiel could just be prone to extreme grudges, and just generally can't let anything go (?)
