Shame on Y Combinator

There is a difference between having private non-conforming opinions and openly harassing colleagues. Only the latter is an obvious lack of virtue.

Although to be fair, it's not clearcut. If you quietly say you support someone who is openly harassing colleagues, that is basically harassment by proxy. Being less direct could actually be worse, since it's passive-aggressive.

I'm not implying that applies in this case.

I agree, it's not that clearcut and you provided a great counterexample to my argument. My example was intended for mostly disjoint private and professional spheres but I did not specify it.
