> I followed the entire conversation and “a founder on a rage bender” is an extreme exaggeration.

I don't know, maybe you missed the part where he posted on Twitter about cancel culture and then started blocking everyone who disagreed with him. Rage benders don't need to be limited to the office. =)

The one where he linked to a NYT article/podcast interview and everybody start tweeting at him that he was raging about cancel culture?

This one?

Yeah! They tweeted at him such because that's what he was doing. Other people just said, "Maybe you should take a break" and got blocked. =)

I guess if we're just going to go in a circle confirming that we've both observed the same thing vs. discussing, I'm happy to bounce! =) Have an awesome one!

Posting an article link is hardly raging about cancel culture, especially when it’s a very reasoned interview about it.

If you saw a link posted and see that as rage, it kinda proves the point.

Did you read the NYT article or listen to the podcast? It was very reasonable.
