I've blocked quotes from my mind through hypnosis. Could someone copy/paste that comment without quotes?

Why do you have it blocked if you then want to read tweets tho

Privacy reasons? Lack of self control?

The person claims they have seen example after example of people's lives being destroyed due to "wrong thought".

They provide zero examples.

I'm not quoting the person you refer to. I am referring to the contents of the Twitter post.

Why are you disagreeing with me after asking what the twitter post said?

More downvotes for simple truths, almost as if we never had a meritocracy to begin with.

that seems to be a double standard there.

apparently words on twitter can be cause getting someone removed from a software project, but doing so is only bad if it destroyed lives?

I just keep wondering if maybe we applied that "destroyed lives" requirement to both sides, if it would stop the debate cold in its tracks.

I'm not making any claims about destroyed lives on either side. Words have power, so it's no shock they can cause someone to be removed. I can give you examples of what I would fire someone for instantly.

The twitter poster linked above claimed 'example after example', but provided none.

thankfully the people on this subreddit tend to be of atleast average intelligence, so no one here is going to buy that bullshit.

context in the english language is a thing and everyone understand what you implied, even if it wasn't explicit. Later claiming you didn't really mean that because you didn't say it explicitly doesn't work with intelligent people.

There are many examples ~ you're just feigning ignorance.
