Dave, you are a massive troll, but the sama quotes baited me too hard.
I'll quote matt levine from bloomberg: https://www.bloomberg.com/...ights-and-tech-fears
"Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are bold iconoclastic innovators who move fast and break things and question established paradigms to change the world, unless someone makes fun of them. In which case they crumple instantly?"
"How can I change the world if someone might mock me on Twitter?"
The article I linked goes into more detail.
Also you may want to read the comments on hacker news, (where sama is an active member). They go both directions, both in support of and defending sama:

To me the most poigniant quote from that thread was: "That's toxic? First, sounds very straw-man. Second, okay, someone said they think something's unethical. Maybe it is? Maybe they have a point they didn't articulate well? Maybe they're straight-up wrong! If you're arguing for free speech, then you're arguing in favor of people being vocally critical of ideas you hold dear. Hiding under the pillow fort of "California is so intolerant" makes it seem like what you're actually complaining about is people disagreeing with you."
I am slightly reluctant in linking HN, and unleashing h2ofun on it.
This thread is an abomination and h2ofun should be banned. I apologize for bumping it but I was too 'triggered'.
