So if Sam's not firing Peter Thiel is the high bit of his reputation for you, you prize orthodoxy over actions.

@paulg "firing" is a completely false equivalency.

@codinghorror It's the word YC uses internally. Do you really think *this* is the crux of the issue, morally?

@codinghorror Is it ok to fire (or whatever word) a visiting professor for supporting the wrong candidate, but not a regular one?

@paulg thank you paul.

@sama Curious what you’ve done—more than the post yesterday, right?

@dcurtis i have spent all my free time (and done less work than i should have) on various projects. and a lot of $.

@dcurtis i don't talk much about them because i generally think it's bad for the head of an org like YC to be a political activist

@dcurtis but i probably will after the election.

@sama @dcurtis what about voting for third-party? You should vote according to your conscience--not who you predict will win

@williamle8300 @sama I have no serious issues with Hillary except her tax policy which will impact me directly. The third parties are a joke

@paulg what has he done? (not trolling, actually curious)
