Well my point is that in case I have no diapers, I may have to resort to peeing outside behind a tree or something (like most of us did back in the days). I guess I could just pee myself. :P And I have some curiosity with respect to the law.

I do not know the personal life of most people whose work I use or like though. I do not think I would stop using them just because they did something I find morally repulsive. If ReiserFS was any good than the alternatives, I would use it. I understand the people who wouldn't. Granted, it is related to funding him, but eh. A quick question: How well do you know the people behind your favorite projects?

Have I not paid my price by going to jail? By being homeless and sleeping in my car in the cold of winter? By having people show up at my door in January trying to cause physical violence to me? Are you the same person you were 9 years ago? Would you rather my children not have food and shelter because of mistakes I made 9 years ago and paid for in abundance? Should I put up a gofundme so that they can have their nee…
weird to parlay someone making publicly available information known to those who you are asking money from into an accusation of wanting harm to come to your kids. least of all given that you harmed a kid. "nobody will employ me", well, probably because they have the benefit of the knowledge being shared here. > paid for in abundance its my opinion, shared by many in our society, that you did not pay for it "in abund…

Mods didn't see it. Users flagged it, because fundraisers and requests for funding are not on topic for Hacker News. I'm going to make an exception in this case and turn off the flags. We can't (and don't) do this often, so please don't anyone interpret this as a precedent.

I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm just curious. Why do you think that this post deserves an exception?
(1) is about not getting too stuck in any pattern and (2) is about not reinforcing a worse pattern.

I'm aware that many people will not be happy even Hell really does exist and I go there for eternity. Many people have expressed this sentiment in the most gory terms. Those people will never be happy, and I think that's fair. I'll pray for them though that they can have a change of heart, so they can have a chance at happiness.

It's hard to self-reflect well enough to answer that! but I think something like: (1) it's good to occasionally (but not often) have emotional and human elements show up here in ways that differ from what usually shows up here. (Those elements may be good or bad, btw), and (2) if I have to choose between HN punishing people for past crimes vs. HN giving someone a second (or third, or Nth) chance, then I have to choos…
Keep up the good work. :)
