I think the use of the word "tolerance" here muddies things. To the extent that tolerance is a virtue, it refers to tolerating other people for what they are , not what they do . There are gray areas here of course, but there ar

I'm not questioning your sincerity (or talking about you at all, really). I'm observing that the HN community is a poor fit for activism. It's crunch time (activism-wise) and the top comment chain is a relitigation of the who

"People are going to have conflicts, and some of them are going to become holy wars. Best of luck in the wars to come." What does this mean? I'm genuinely interested in your perspective, not trying to play gotcha or argue sem
