Not sure why I'm being downvoted? OP throws out "Peter Thiel says monopolies are good," which is an appeal to authority and a post meant to cause controversy.

The OP wasn't necessarily agreeing with Thiel, just highlighting something of a counter-opinion. Your reply was a bit uncivil and didn't really add anything.

I think the point was probably more an attack on Thiel than an appeal to authority.
