>If the majority of the comments supported PayPal's decision to hold all donations made to Courage to Resist, I have a feeling you'd feel much differently about the submission.

You're welcome to ascribe to me, on near-zero evidence, whatever political beliefs you want (though my opinion vector has low cosine similarity to all the standard labels I've encountered, so you'll probably be largely incorrect whatever you guess). All I'll say is that in this case my comment wouldn't have changed at all if the comments all said "They have the right not to do business with someone" or "Would you complain if this was al Zawahiri?" or something else defending Paypal's actions. In fact, I wrote my comment before reading anyone else's.



>In fact, I wrote my comment before reading anyone else's.

Really? Because your first comment says:

>All the people commenting on this thread implicitly approve of its presence on HN


Yes, because they commented on the topic at all, not because of the content of their comments.
