Pro-Trump CEO gets booted from Y Combinator over harassment concerns
- masondixon 10y agoWithout a doubt he was goaded for sure. But unfortunately he took the bait, and lost his cool. He is speaking his mind, but in a debate in a public setting like this you have lost when you start cursing. The condescension from the left is very evident: > trying to engage you as civily as we can > a few of us have given you the courtesy of trying to engage with you Like you are some kind of "other". The hypocrisy is unbelievable. I've received similar comments during Trump debates on HN. I always assumed the HN community and entrepreneurs would stick to logical debate without the need to resort to ad-hominem attacks, but I was deeply wrong. I think entrepreneurs are very susceptible to thinking with their emotions rather than their brains, as it is necessary to sell a vision to investors and employees, ignore the risks, and take on the seemingly impossible. Think - Steve Job's reality distortion field.
