What feelings? Do we seriously need to review Uber's conduct? We over here pretending their corporate culture has shifted to something approximating ethical behavior now?

No, I'm not trying to excuse Uber or say that they're some amazing benevolent company.

All I'm saying that I think, if you're going to make a claim like above it at least comes with a source or something relevant to the claim itself to point at as proof.

But look, if that's too much to ask for on Hacker News then fine.

I think you were right to call him/her out. Comments like that have no place here.

Level headed conversation with references and sources if possible are what I come here for and I think what the community expects.

The other stuff can stay on Reddit.
