A couple nights ago, I was at a gathering of HN folks where someone mentioned Michael O. Church. We’re apparently supposed to be conflicted about how YC treated him: the ban here, the Quora debacle, the efforts to mess with his offline career. Here’s the thing: The guy deserved it. He deserved all of it. I’m sure there’s stuff I don’t know about and I bet he deserved that too.

We are talking about someone who thinks his own moral code matters more than the reputations of people who have millions and possibly billions of dollars riding on their own good names. I’ve worked with people who think “social justice” or “not being evil” or “getting it right” matter more than working as part of a team. You can’t have people like that around. You have to get them out. They will never accept a given truth that is 30 or 40 or even 50 percent right. They insist on 100.

Also, let’s be real. Most of the supposed crimes that he exposed were not even illegal. Disguising a layoff as a culling of low performers may be an ugly thing to do, but it’s not against the law. All this did was reduce morale in the technology industry, which is straight up fractious sedition.

I have always been so proud of Dan G’s leadership and vision in pushing this guy into irrelevance. I had not heard his name for years, but then, while I was eating my burger sliders at an erstwhile peaceful meetup, I discovered that people still remember him, and that quite a few think he was some kind of hero. A hero? For what? He sped up nothing. If the man had any effect at all, which I very much doubt, he slowed things down.

Then there is the matter of Paul Graham. Yes, I get it, it’s hilarious to picture the father of everything orange getting his curlies tied up over some obscure writer. However, I have done literal hours of research and there is no evidence whatsoever that Paul Graham played a role in anything. None. I understand there is comedic value here and I do wish that the promised rap battle between the two had taken place, but to insist that there is serious evidence behind all the memes is bordering on libel. So can everyone please stop?

Let’s not even talk about his insanely long novel in which the heroine burns down a university and destroys people’s memories but is also the savior of humanity or something like that but I’m not sure because I couldn’t get forty words into it without remembering all the people he tried to make look bad and getting so angry on their behalf that I threw my girlfriend’s stupid favorite pen into her stupid cat’s litter box.

Forget that guy. He is not along the path to your next unicorn and he is nowhere near it. Forget him. Take a deep breath, Silicon Valley. Forget him.

We must resist apology for who we are and for our community’s actions.
