    These will be words I will probably have to eat in the future (or when I research that guy's other opinions), but just based on the BS that was thrown at the guy in HN comments, this guy deserves respect for the power move of not giving a shit about these kinds of politics.

    Truly an impressive play.

      HN truly is a wild place in that I don't know other forums where psychopaths are celebrated.

        Who's a sociopath here? Is there evidence?

          Plenty of strong indications, including the lawsuits from former staff working for him and his mom.

            It is unclear if the staff are working for him and his mom, or if his mom also has a lawsuit.
