For the record I've never been sued for defamation (I was once sent a cease-and-desist letter by John De Goes, a Scala conference organizer who didn't like that I had publicized things he'd said and done, but he was bluffing and never even replied to my lawyer's response).
I remember reading this the day you posted it. I honestly really looked up to you as a Scala community member and open source evangelist. I even attended the talk you hosted at Twitter on using Kleisli arrows for HTTP request composition and processing. I have no issue with your political beliefs but as I stated think it’s quite disappointing to see people invest so much energy into destructive social vigilantism.
