So far we've heard that he has expressed questionable views in the past (not a crime) and that he can come across as a bit creepy to some people (again not a crime, I know tonnes of people like that). Basically he has committed thought crimes (to some people) and is being cancelled in a very obvious sense.
Given what he has achieved in his life that has benefited everyone of us, I'm amazed HN folk are so quick to go along with cancelling him. Shame on you.

- dang 5y agoPlease don't do the never-ending flamewar on HN. That includes making spurious generalizations about the community and then shame-on-you-ing the spurious generalization. Tedious lock-in on intense positions against intense opposition kills curiosity, and eventually its own host. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
