* A few folks wrongly arguing this is about free speech even though it's not an issue of government limiting speech * Guys saying this is trying to silence someone, without ever reflecting on whether Pax's actions silenced others * People blaming me for his getting fired, even though I know his CEO and did not call him about this * Dudes who will say "all that matters is if he knows the tech" as if being an executive doesn't also require effective communication skills, empathy, and the ability to create a welcoming and supportive workplace. * A few who will go off and continue the effort to dox me instead of the PUA jerks who keep sending me death threats and attacking me & my family * A silent majority who find this guy and this kind of behavior reprehensible but somehow don't always feel obligated to speak up.
But I am optimistic; the many good people here can change these parts of startup culture. We can make it welcoming, even to those with strong accents or who those might get pregnant.
