Which controversy you've now made much more likely by bringing it up. Thanks a whole lot.

I agree, knowing that homophobes are in public places of power is a good thing.

Eich shouldn't be able to enter a room without being berated, until he concedes and gives up his bigotry.

I for one am totally fine with it being an opinion to discuss on hacker news.

However, I have significant doubts about the power of constant berration to actually change someones mind - or even make them give up the overt facets of their opinion. Don't you think?

[mikeash]

An interesting opinion, but I'd appreciate it if you could find a different web site to try it out on.

Being equally bigoted towards bigots without even attempting to understand their viewpoints is a bit odd don't you think?

Nobody is trying to make it illegal for him to get married. Who is being bigoted towards him in any way?

Seems somewhat intolerant of different opinions to me

[nsmnsf]

I am absolutely 100% intolerant of anyone opposed to gay marriage (or civil unions for straight couples/gay couples, same end result).

Congratulations? I'm not exactly sure if that's something you're proud of, but good luck with it I suppose.

I fervently wish that arguments that rely wholly on self-reference were illegal. For the love of Gödel.
