The phrase "people like him should be forcefully removed from society" is problematic because it can be seen as inciting violence. I don't think that has a place on HN, regardless of how you feel about the person.

> forcefully removed from society

It just means there should be laws against certain antisocial behavior. Behind every law is the threat of violence to remove someone from society.

What if you clarify explicitly that violence is not meant literally?

Maybe something like “The Silicon Bourgeoisie should be figuratively guillotined.”

Sure, but a charitable interpretation of the comment you're replying to reasonably concludes that they're talking about ostracizing and shunning.
