You're a pretty great poster and I hope you know that the frequency with which your posts are greyed out is a good indicator that you often push the right buttons.
A bunch of tech-nerds who routinely act skeptical of women testimony about harassment, waxing poetic about the nuances of the thought of a Nazi sympathizer.

- throwawaycozsv 9y agoHas anyone in this thread written any comment of the sort, regarding such a hateful excerpt? It would be shocking if they did, but I haven't read anything like that. It's interesting to note that you are agreeing with Coldtea but for completely different reasons. Coldtea is saying that Cioran's works are intrinsically crap, without mentioning once Cioran's Nazi sympathies as a reason. On the other hand, you're saying (and correct me if I'm wrong) that because Cioran was a Nazi sympathizer, then all of Cioran's works must necessarily be crap, because it would not be acceptable to think otherwise.
