Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

"We're facing the biggest PR storm in our history, no hurry".

Where is he, btw? Rehab?

that's the fun part. He's been on "samattical" since beginning of Feb. Plenty of time for twitter harassment but this one will have to wait

Banning trans women on Tumblr who are mad at him for them being harassed through the platform: Important.

Feuding with said trans women on Twitter: Important.

Explaining their decision to sell the users data: Not important.

And to add, admitting that Tumblr had an admin who charged for banning trans women: Important.

Explaining wtf that was all about: Not important.

He probably should be in rehab.

Probably on a photography trip to some exotic and expensive place.
