You're telling me that I'm inconsistent in my views because I think Eich deserves blame for what happened when he helped enact a bad law, but I don't stop posting to HN. That implies these two activities are comparable. If you never made that claim then what the hell is the point of your comments? You're just making shit up and holding me to a standard I never expressed. It's completely pointless and stupid.
- amazingamazing 2y agoYou said: "Thinking that you should treat people well..." I am saying that this site's cofounder is sympathetic to DOGE, which is not treating people well. Either you disagree with that view, in which case you should stop supporting this site with your participation, or you agree, and you can continue to post. Of course you can make whatever excuse you'd like to explain how just because you're here doesn't mean you're aligned with pg.
- wat10000 2y ago> I am saying that this site's cofounder is sympathetic to DOGE, which is not treating people well. I agree. And guess what: I don't approve of pg's views on this either. If he ran the company where I worked, I'd support removing him too. But he doesn't, so what's your point? How do you make the leap from "I'd want to remove him if he were my boss" to "I should stop commenting on HN"? If anything, consistency would require that I demand that he be removed from his leadership role in HN, not that I should be the one to leave.
