Why do the norms at YC allow Thiel to directly and aggressively support Trump, but discourage other partners from publicly objecting?

-
I'm not talking about respect. Calling out a friend for doing something you believe is deeply wrong is not disrespectful.
-
are you wanting to see him (or folks associated with him) punished or publicly shamed for their political views?
-
Better question: Why would you want to prevent people holding shameful views from being held accountable for them?
@wycats -
being held accountable is OK. Usually shaming turns into "{{name}} is a piece of garbage and so is anyone that supports them!"
-
so you're saying people shouldn't object to problematic things because maybe it'll escalate?
-
not at all. People should be able to stand up for themselves. Are you saying that people should not be civilized with each other?
-
civility and debate are not in conflict, not even a little.
