I think in practice you might be Brendan Eich, donate to an anti same-sex marriage PAC, find that your work community does not feel gay marriage should be open to discussion and are out of a job as CEO of Mozilla.
- grzm 10y agoOk. Would you clarify who the "you" refers to? I'm not sure if you're referring to me, Peter Thiel, or some general person who doesn't hold the same views as you.
- revelation 10y agoWell, Brendan Eich. It's more of a literary device. Sorry, I might have misunderstood your question? I merely wanted to give an example of what happens when there is a shift of the line and some people haven't caught up.
- grzm 10y agoThanks for clarifying. I was aware it could have different meanings and just wanted to make sure. And thanks for responding to the original question. I think the issue is a lot more complex than can be extrapolated from a single example. Like I said, it's something I've been thinking about, some heuristic or guideline that can be applied to more than just this particular situation. I wish I had a grip on a better answer. Watching people go at each other on Hacker News has been hard.
