I've never said that when walking out of a strip club. But I guess you're defending the 1 weird trick linkbaits because they work or something??

I think pg is very influential in tech and he has missed several opportunities to speak out for the powerless being abused. I think this is made worse when he runs Hacker News, and lets that platform be used in a very similar case to defend
