On: Ask HN: Where is the black bar for John McAfee?

[oblib]

>>So you are saying a judgement call on lifestyle and behaviour trumps achievements...

No, so let me clarify it for you. I'm saying McAfee was not honorable[1].

[airbreather → oblib]

Maybe not, but I couldn't say as I did not know him personally.

So Bill Gates, is he honorable to your standards?

What about Steve Jobs, reputedly not the nicest of people to some, what should we do about him?

Erwin Schrodinger, Thomas Jefferson, Charlie Chaplin, Westinghouse - what's your judgement on them?

[oblib → airbreather]

You can honor whomever you want but neither of us get to say who HN honors with that black bar.

I wouldn't give McAfee that honor myself and don't feel the need to judge those you mention, and won't.
