Why on earth is Matt’s nosebleed on this? Making fun of peoples medical issues is tasteless, and makes me wonder about the motivation behind the rest of the page.
Agreed. For context, Matt posted the following on the original video:
> Around 20 minutes in, my nose started bleeding, which sometimes happens when I travel too much. Prior to this interview, I was on 30+ hour flights returning from Durban, where I was on safari, to Houston. I'm sorry for not noticing it happening; it's very embarrassing.
They are making a not-subtle insinuation that he’s engaging in stimulant drug abuse.
How that relates to an executive engaged in sudden extremely aggressive and over the top and highly personal scorched earth attack campaign over what appear to be fairly routine open source community squabbles is left as an exercise for the reader.
The inclusion of the nosebleed is not to make fun of Matt, it is to highlight something relevant to the medical issues that people have speculated about. The motivation is to bring to light Matt's wide-ranging exploits in one place, given it is abnormal for someone involved in high-profile litigation to spend their time arguing on Hacker News, Reddit, Twitter and live streams.
People are signaling to you that this particular thing crosses a line. You'd do well to heed that and take that part out. Speculating on his health / insinuating things undermines the points you're trying to make.
Matt doesn't appear to have a problem with the website ("It actually is an excellent website"[1]). Please create a Pull Request with any changes you think necessary.
In the context of man off the rails, wrecking careers and reputations, etc. the nose bleed is a possible signal. It's not something to be ignored, again based on the context.
Frankly, it would explain a lot. Cause as it is, it's baffling.
I would consider that it's relevant in case he has been insufflating anything that would explain his erratic behavior. That said, as someone in recovery, it is still not something to make fun of. He does clearly need medical help whether that be for drugs, mania or whatever it is he has going on.
The "traveling too much" is exactly the same kind of BS I would have said in my addiction. Is he referring to air pressure? Because that would happen on the plane, not hours later.
I’ve seen a bunch of people in addiction recovery, and Matt’s erratic self destructive aggressive behaviour seems very familiar. Nosebleeds too. It’s probably just a coincidence, but…
