Nah, this Dan is a founder, a YC alum with 11,000 karma points. He can say whatever he wants. At worst, he'd get a "Well, yeah, you're right, they are religious bigots, but please be more subtle about it." But he won't even get that, because no HN user with >=500 karma's going to flag his comment.
Of course, weberc2's comment is downvoted.
Nah, HN isn't biased to the left at all, dang. After all, people on both sides complain, therefore it must be perfectly balanced, right?
Anyone worried about how we moderate this sort of thing is welcome to look through https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu....
Yes, I'm sure there are lots of articles, many of which are slanted to support one agenda or another and maybe a few that aspire to present a balanced viewpoint. I'm not sure what your point you're making.

Probably not, but it doesn't support the "hateful bigots" accusation. "Greedy capitalists disingenuously hiding behind religious rights" at worst.
It was pretty well reported - I posted the first link I found assuming that you hadn't heard of the case.
