That's horrible. I can still understand people having unethical opinions about torture, but making light of an innocent man being tortured? I'm all for "edgy jokes," but this is just vitriolic.
I think this is the worst thing I've read on HN.
(By the way, if you had exposed an email, I would have asked you about this in private. I don't mean to embarrass you in a public forum. Perhaps you weren't thinking.)
- DanBC 12y ago> I think this is the worst thing I've read on HN. Wait what? Do you have "showdead" turned on? Plenty of stuff like this gets posted every week.
- striking 12y agoI do. Some of it is obvious trolling, and some of it is ranty nonsense. But torture of the innocent is where I draw the line. It struck a nerve with me.
- shpx 12y agoIt was a cynical remark. I did not intend that reaction, I hold no opinions on torture. As an aside, what I said was factually accurate (it's in the article - he gave them the information they wanted), yet people think it was wrong for me to say it. I don't think I'll ever understand that.
