Worst HN comment ever.

Huh? There's several hundred people on that list for me. It took 5 minutes to scroll through and decide which ones to click. It could have taken 2.5 minutes. Clearly this is desirable? If not, please explain.

You managed to turn a simple feature request into subtle anti-gay propaganda, whether you meant it or not.

I see. I think people are being too sensitive.

Your comment isn't offensive to me, but I it looks like it is because of the disclaimer, which you don't need.

If you turned:

"It's cool to support gay people and all, but if I'm straight I shouldn't have to look at all the dudes when I'm clicking who I'm interested in."

into:

"If I'm straight I shouldn't have to look at all the dudes when I'm clicking who I'm interested in."

I don't think people would misunderstand it.

why should he have to be sensitive at all? It's his opinion.

To be understood better. People communicate to convey info.

I understand this. I'm just sick of the recent trend of silencing the freedom of speech when it may offend someone.

very badly phrased, but a filter by gender option would probably be a good feature.

gender and orientation! what's the use to browse the opposite sex persons if they won't be interested in you!

I just logged in an it said it will text me at 8am tomorrow? How do you turn it off?

you can just respond with STOP when you get the first text

I am amazed he left Facebook.

Why not? Surely a combination of Google and Facebook experience is more valuable than an equal amount of experience at just one or the other.

I can see how you'd choose FB over Google coming in from the outside but if you get the chance to work with both it seems like a smart choice.

Nerd.

True story.

"Now that Twitter serves as a broadcast platform, Techmeme plans to include cogent 140-character Twitter posts written by influential people as headlines."

^ This is interesting. Can change the game for a lot of bloggers, and Twitter.
