Well, if Paul was mistaken, then he should have been informed- not kicked out of YC for a misunderstanding don’t you think? Sounds like abuse of power

Yeah, I’m not gonna get particularly upset about either side doing something wrong at a time when there was a lot of confusion, lot of pressure, and frankly the correct moral decision isn’t all that clear.

But that swings both ways, and it does not speak well that 1 side was penalized so heavily for it, irrespective of whether they were in the right or wrong.

Of course, it’s even more egregious coming on the heels of a Ycombinator founder defending someone who did far far worse.

I am not surprised this comment was buried to avoid scrutiny. Technocracy censorship is common these days
