Again, I disagree. When major industry figures are found to be supporting extremist politicians by either covert or overt means, then pointing this out isn't "riding a high horse" -- it's due diligence.

This is the problem I'm talking about. HN should be above political discussions like this. Look, I'm sure we'd have a great exchange on politics; but this should be neutral grounds for all of us.

One of the things that makes HN great is that we're united by our passion for technology and if politics ever surfaces it should be because it has a direct impact on technology (like when Brendan Eich left Mozilla).

Your spin vs. my spin is a boring, meaningless game, but it would probably help your play if you use a phrase that has a more applicable definition to the activity you're spinning.

The hell is call-out culture?
