is… this a joke

-
there is nothing that seems to advance any public interest in this post
-
outing is violence
-
the only theory of ethics I've seen around justifying it is if someone uses the closet to hurt others
-
ie benefiting from homophobia while closeted. This was Michael Rogers' justification.
-
but there doesn't seem to be ANY justification here other than "I don't think this should be private"
-
I believe Owen Thomas has stated he did not consider Thiel to be in the closet at the time.
-
While it wasn't publicized, it wasn't a secret. Thiel seems to have disagreed re: closet status.

@sarahjeong@owenthomas@Gawker I think the part where they put his private life on blast was more to blame than writing quality
-
If you're serious, you're profoundly insensitive.
-
I am serious, but concede I'm reading a 2007 article in 2016; maybe folks cared more back then.
