Thanks for your reply. I'm curious to know if your views have changed in the years/decade(s) since. (I'm asking specifically because there appear to be a few logical flaws in some of the arguments in one of your blog posts from 2009, at the risk of going significantly off topic for this HN thread)

Not only is it off-topic, but I don't think anyone is likely to learn anything interesting from a reply, and the most likely outcome is an abortion-related flamewar. I don't agree with Jeff's 2009 views on abortion, but it's not really relevant to the work he's done here, and neither is whether or not he's changed his mind in any way about it.

  I mostly agree with your point about it being off topic. However I wonder what decides what’s the threshold to separate the art from the artist metaphorically speaking. Not that I don’t think the different shades of grey shouldn’t be discussed in general, but if this was someone else with more controversial issues (eg Stallman) the discussion would be different, and some/many wouldn’t have considered that off topic to the discussion. Anyway, such things are fortunately not critical. (Fwiw I’m not particularly for or against what Jeff has written from an ideological view)
