Do you have any evidence that this was the reason?

- tim333 5mo agoThe article says too big for his boots and part responsible for a $787m libel judgement. Also called Senior Executive Vice President for Corporate Communications a cunt. Doesn't mention idealogue.
- pphysch 5mo agoThe article doesn't even include the words "ideologue" or "extreme" or make a similar claim. Very weird and defensive response.
- selectodude 5mo agoIt really isn’t. The fact that it seems like people can’t use descriptive adjectives on HN is always so bizarre to me.
- pphysch 5mo agoYou should try using better description adjectives, like "rude", "racist", "uppity" instead of spreading misinformation.

- pphysch 5mo agoYou are being deliberately obtuse. Unbearably rude and "extreme ideologue" are completely different things. There are many Nice & Respectable people who are extreme ideologues. Words have meaning.
- freejazz 5mo agoThat's incredibly poor reading comprehension on your part. > There are many Nice & Respectable people who are extreme ideologues You can't actually be serious.
