Here is a hint, "private lives" means "private".If you have kids should their school records be fair game?

From my
@washingtonpost piece: "outing of private people w/no connection to matters of public concern... is another matter." -
You as a wrtier for WaPo have a much greater connection to matters of public concern than Thiel did.

@Gawker I'm just a lowly freelancer, not@washingtonpost staff. ;-) -
But Thiel in 07 was a venture capitalist, not a politician, not someone who influenced policy.
-
Peter Thiel has far more power over policy than the vast majority of politicians - & he wields it.
-
not according to opensecrets, least not before 07. Not on their top list til 2012.

You might want to look up the case of Grantland, Dr. V and
@Gawker's reaction to it. -
Oh yes, I am familiar with that. I'm not defending everything
@Gawker does, of course. -

An entirely fair point - and why some in media are nervous about the Thiel/Gawker news.
-
And this is why every non-media person doesn't care, to us
@Gawker just ran into a bigger bully. -
You're totally right re: how this story plays in media vs. non-media circles. And it's also why (1/2)

could not imagine "those 'happy homos'" being written a decade later when I was in uni. also, had to google pink triangles.
-
Wow, interesting! I guess they are no longer a thing; it's all about the rainbow flag nowadays.
-
yeah, rainbows for me in 2003. but the pink triangles sound fun.
