How do you mean? Aside from being the literal headline of the NPR article and thus being right for HN, what would you suggest?

#4The irony here is the fallout from this memo is exactly what the author was trying to fight against. Most negative reactions I have seen to the memo attempt to shame the author without engaging in any sort of rational counter or discourse. Whether or not the author is "right" is entirely up for debate, but I believe they should be able to at least question the current situation and get logical feedback as to why they are "right" or "wrong" rather than emotionally-based feedback about how horrible of a person they are.

#5This is a classic example of why we shouldn't feed the trolls. I am not sure why this letter is getting so much publicity. This view point can be had any day on reddit. Even in places like /r/technology you'll find plenty of people throwing out these ideas.
I find it rather boring and cliche.

There are many viewpoints expressed on reddit that, if someone condenses into a manifesto, and sends out to their workplace, will, if all things are right in that workplace, result in swift termination.
Your job is not a debate club, nor does it exist as a platform for free speech.

Further, since we've had at least 5 gigantic shitshow threads about this on HN, it's not just boring but repetitive. This is exactly what the "flag" button under the headlines on stories here is for.

#9The uproar and its virality within Google first are so weird. From what I skimmed, that post was ultra mild and the author went out of his way to qualify everything.

I find it difficult to substantively argue against the author because it's such a hodgepodge of assertions, including a bulleted list of what the a author considers "left" and "right" biases.
