Given what Gawker did to him, I can hardly shed a tear.

There are plenty of reasons to dislike the man, but that ain't one.

Thiel is intolerant of Gawker, true!

I'm intolerant of Nazis.

The commentor is intolerant of Peter Thiel.

It's better to discuss the actual merits of a position, rather than just saying "They're intolerant".

They were in the same league as the British Daily Mail. Trash journalism and it's better they're gone.

Completely agree -- I think most people hold it against Thiel that he supported Trump getting the presidency.
