You didn't give me an argument you gave me a twitter thread. The argument I interpreted from the thread was if you let your bar be associated with a Nazi (because you served them) then down the road they will invite their other Nazi friends and eventually your bar will become a Nazi bar. In the context of this HN thread I take this argument to mean, well Null is associating with people who harassed this woman to death, therefore Null supports it. Which is why I gave the response I did.
- DoctorOW 4y agoClose, but you're missing the point. It becomes a Nazi bar, regardless of the owner's intentions for the bar. So arguing the semantics of one admin's beliefs is irrelevant.
- throwrqX 4y agoWhat defines it being a Nazi bar? One patron? A dozen? A certain percentage of the patronage?
- DoctorOW 4y agoAlso irrelevant. The Nazi bar is a metaphor.
- MichaelCollins 4y agoA metaphor that can't be examined for implications has no value.
- throwrqX 4y agoMetaphor for what? Supporting harassment to the point of suicide? There's lots of harassment on almost every social media site so the question of what defines it 'going over the edge' so to speak is a very important one to me.
