I'm going to end this conversation before you get too confused

    Could you please undo that? I don't know this person, but all his arguments are worth discussing, his points are valid, and don't see any other site violation, than the monopoly discussion being of course only a side discussion of Google/Microsoft. I also don't see any request to stop. His last post on this was 19 hrs ago, you de-attached it 15 hrs ago, and then banned him 15 hrs ago. Rob Taylor by himself explained how important it is to let discussions happen at PARC. They trained it. RIP

      Even if that were true, it's like arguing a good hockey player shouldn't get penalties or ever be suspended. Taylor did not foster a 'no-holds-barred' culture. Alan Kay has explained this many times, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14120241 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14120241. There were many violations and several warnings.
