the Gawker post that outed Peter Thiel is 20% nicer than most Gawker posts http://gawker.com/335894/peter-thiel-is-totally-gay-people …pic.twitter.com/LS4Bd9vihZ

Guys, I get why Thiel was pissed.
I just don't really see the need to speculate that one of the most powerful people in the world was endangered by being outed.
it sounds dumb to say, but billionaires are actually people too, with feelings and everything. most of them anyway.
yeah. i acknowledge that. it's different from speculating that the outing put him in actual harm's way.
I'll definitely agree with you there. FWIW probably anti-Thiel for 1A reasons, but I can't say how I'd react in his position.
oh, I'm not saying it's irrational or crazy that he reacted very strongly to the post
just that i'm surprised he launched a 10 year campaign to destory gawker over it, of all things
is there an unstated backstory here that the Gawker post inflicted horrible behind-the-scenes harm on Thiel and his friends?
at this point i'm wondering if there were other posts that didn't have to do with anyone's sexuality that precipitated this
yeah that makes more sense. I can see the outing being the last straw, but the 'harm' being from other posts.
did Thiel's parents know? If he had a boyfriend at the time, did his parents know? What about siblings? Those make sense to me
it's crazy but a crazy I understand
in a thiel quote in the NYTimes he says that gawker also went after his friends - bridge too far?pic.twitter.com/lEtiid6TRv
reminds me it’s about time to re-read that book!
I'm going to go with "Thiel and Denton are both epic level dicks" until proven otherwise
outing someone can be very damaging (life threatening even), perhaps that's why he went full out attack?
