I tend to lean towards patio11&#x27;s solution simply because the description of the perpetrator made him sound like someone who already failed to grasp the limits of the social contract.<p>As for patio11&#x27;s being sketchy, I think I&#x27;ve read everything he&#x27;s written (starting on the Joel-on-Software forum) and while I don&#x27;t agree with him on everything, I do believe he&#x27;s got reasonable ethics and morals.  Why use the word sketchy when you simply don&#x27;t agree with his opinion?  And bear in mind it was an opinion based solely on what was written in that Ask HN.
