    Wait—I thought the VCs were actually saying that his comments were hateful…which they are.

    I get your sentiment, and generally I agree, but in this case aren’t they right? This guy said something hateful and Islamosist (not a word but “Islamophobia” isn’t strong enough and actually, I think, proliferates hatred toward Islamic people) and the VCs actually came together to sign a letter saying it was wrong.

    Am I misunderstanding this super weirdly formatted website?
