I disagree that we should congratulate anyone whenever they do something good, no matter what they did in the past.

Would you blindly congratulate a participant in the Bucha massacre on the launch of their new app?

Would you congratulate a former ISIS member?

Surely even the most amoral person on HN would draw the line somewhere?

Was a soldier who was posted to Iraq morally inferior to a colleague who didn't get posted?

I mean, neither was her choice? Soldiers go where they are sent.

Or do you think people shouldn't join the armed forces of a country in case a future regime deploys them in a way they disagree with?
