The reason for leaving Mozilla was never published. > I'm wondering if I'm missing something like he himself did some about-face, or people lost track of this, or if they just don't care anymore or what? So your disappointed Hacker News isn't more engaged with identity politics and cancel culture? And by the way you are wrong.

> False. The reason for leaving Mozilla was never published. Well, then the timing is so aligned then at this point it's just occam's razor unless there's another explanation. > So your disappointed Hacker News isn't more engaged with identity politics and cancel culture? There's plenty of that. It's nearly daily now on HN. That wasn't my point at all. Just the inconsistency has always been apparent for years now so I finally asked the hive mind. > And by the way you are wrong. It has come up in several threads in the past. I stand corrected. I had never noticed those comments. That said, it was easy to not notice them as they're a tiny fraction of everything around Brave and have almost no discussion around them compared to his original ousting.

  It's not a current news event. It's old news. Why are you so desperate to cancel him... again?

    This is the last time I’ll mention this here as it’s getting not only repetitive but it feels like I’m the only one discussing in good faith: 1. I’m not trying to cancel anyone 2. I’m not trying to start a flame war 3. I haven’t actually stated any “sides” in this discussion at all 4. I’ve wondered about this for years now and hadn’t personally seen it brought up at all, thus prompting my question. Sheesh.

      If you say you didn't mean to start a flamewar, I believe you, but it's such a classic flamewar topic and has been so done to death for so many years, that other users can't be blamed for thinking otherwise. The effect was to troll the thread even if was unintentional. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=troll%20effects%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...
