This is awfully petty behavior on the part of a CEO, digging up a comment buried ten layers down on a two week old Reddit post and then promising to destroy its anonymous poster. At best, it makes out Beard to be some kind of paranoid control freak. At worst, it makes it seem like that Brendan Eich thing wasn't a one-off.
- dragonwriter 11y agoI doubt the CEO dug up the content; more likely the potentially libelous comment was brought to Mozilla management's attention by someone else, possibly the recently departed employee who was it's target.
- michaelbuddy 11y agoLibelous? Ha! This is your ordinary hyperbolic run-of-the-mill free speech here. Sure it's insulting but it's not something that could be reasonably shown as libel or legally defamatory (as in false). Here's what you call libelous written by Aoiyama: "The rest of mozilla would disagree with you. Everyone hated her because she was an asshole Social Justice bully and frankly people are sick of her divisive stupidity." "Frankly everyone was glad to see the back of Christie Koehler. She was batshit insane and permanently offended at everything. When she and the rest of her blue-haired nose-pierced asshole feminists are gone, the tech industry will breathe a sigh of relief."
