I think this is too harsh. It's fair to acknowledge the reality that doing good things doesn't erase bad things. Even if he has changed, damage that he inflicted onto others lives on. But, yes, I'd rather he fund these great companies than disappear.

    I'd personally like to know everyone's full history-story - and trust that my own judgement and reasoning and compassion will make an adequate decision taking all factors into account; I'd like to know the other side of the stories as well of people who may be harmed, how they were treated, how they're doing now, etc.

      Google doesn't even show any convictions - implying someone should carry a scarlet letter due to allegations is IMO insane.

    I'll take this question in good faith. Here's the guideline I suggest: If I were a woman who was considering working with him, would I appreciate a heads-up to maybe be a bit careful around him? It's clarifying to understand these as workplace issues.

      I believe the question here is very similar to that posed by the sex offender registry. To those who are interested in said question, I'd recommend listening to this debate on the topic of such registries: https://reason.com/2018/02/06/all-sex-offender-registries-should-be-ab/ https://reason.com/2018/02/06/all-sex-offender-registries-sh... I generally supported them in the past, but the evidence presented here was the tipping point and I now believe they do more harm than good. I would extend that principle to say that past a certain point, we shouldn't constantly remind people of past transgressions. Though I do understand the other side, and there is definitely a part of me that would always want to know if a sex offender lived near a child of mine.

    In VC, given the state of the industry? Probably forever. But if he wants to take up gardening or programming with the "bros", I'm sure 4 years will suffice.

      That's a neat quote, however poor Elly overlooked the possibility that small minds sometimes take bad ideas seriously, whereas great minds can sometimes discuss great people.
