That isn't a prerequisite for opposing someone due to their views or opinions, regardless if their actions regarding this incident are agreeable.

I'm sure if Trump takes up this cause against Equifax as well you're going to support him in that effort too. Correct?

There aren't really any prerequisites for not liking someone. I suggested one hypothetical reason, do you have actual reasons worth sharing here?
I'm not getting into a nitpick over his alliances to left-wing groups I strongly dislike or that he commonly tries to pull high ranking democrats further left than necessary, etc.
So you just wanted to attack him personally without having any obligation to back up your opinion? Do I understand correctly?

Last time I checked, I posted useful information in this thread and only noted my opinion of Schneiderman after "josefresco" specifically named him in an attempt to divert the conversation. If I wanted to attack him specifically I would have picked a better forum than Hacker News where politically charged discourse is generally frowned upon. And moreover, I owe no one any further explanation of my opinion of Schneiderman; much less you in particular.

Do you understand correctly, now?
