Thanks, and wow... he sounds like a perpetual drain on the energy and sanity of all of the people around him.

The stuff he is tweeting from the official Gab twitter is truly hellishly insane !

  He's right though..

  Just for context, the situation being referenced here is that Gab claims Donald Trump is verified on the platform but the address associated with the account is really the CEO's email (Kuhcoon was his YC company).

  Maybe I'm missing some context, but what about that Tweet was disgusting versus just trashy or in poor taste? Compared to some of the crap on Twitter it's pretty tame.

    The word disgusting literally means to be in extremely poor taste (e.g. "the rotton food i ate was disgusting")

      FWIW, regardless of the origins, “poor taste” always seemed to be a more minor condemnation than that when I have witnessed it — things from Frankie Boyle’s standup or Trump’s interior design preferences to the UK Queen announcing austerity while wearing (and sitting on) the royal bling; never

        Sure. Hence the "extreme" modifier.

      No, disgusting is not "bad taste" it's "revulsion". Much stronger. If I showed someone a crime scene photo they might be "disgusted" but they won't say it's "bad taste".

        Opinions may differ, but I think refusing to take a journalist seriously because of their religion is pretty disgusting, and goes past mere "bad taste".

Nope. I read his comments, and they're reasonable. A country is defined by its border, which requires a fence or wall. If you want to see a YC alumnus with silly comments, read Sam Altmans's link about his political leanings. What a tool: https://blog.samaltman.com/the-2016-election https://blog.samaltman.com/the-2016-election Hillary Clinton is one of the most corrupt politicians in American history. She paid off a British informant to start Trump's first impeachment, and has accepted up to $2 billion from the Saudis for her family's foundation. And Trump has never said a racist thing. If you don't believe me, try to find a single quote. He's called a racist because he blocked corona passengers from the Chinese mainland, and he wouldn't denounce certain groups at the behest of leftists. Makes sense to me.

Exactly this. Opinions apart, the guy is just a giant pain in the behind If he was that obtuse and verbose about picking website colours he would have been booted the same way but of course a-holes pick the topics they know will cause the most controversy.
