That is a valid view of course. But my point (and the one of the posts I was replying to) was much narrower and does neither argue for nor against letting people, however vile, stay in a community.

That article does not demonstrate a fallacy, though, only argues (in a very perfunctory way) a different position. Also, the article is concerned with artists, whose output often is considered to have meaning. DHH outputs code, which does not have meaning the way art is thought to have meaning.

Nice. (I came for the JS but stayed for the food inspiration.)
