- brigandish 1y agoI couldn't care less if Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot or even Bob Monkhouse[2] were pushing open source patches and contributing talks, as long as they: - do not turn away from debate - do not turn to or espouse violence[1] - and their contributions were of merit Since DHH has done none of that then the answer is "yes, it's okay to put him on a stage to talk about tech". [1] I thank Karl Popper for showing the way here with his Paradox of tolerance. [2] Bob was the master of self-deprecating jokes, I hope he would appreciate that one.
