>that's only because I don't work with this guy or folks like him How do you know this for sure? They may not want to speak out.

  The people around me might be pondering all sorts of strange things - if they're not disrupting my life as they work through those thoughts then that is OK with me. I can mind my own business. I'm not really into the 'dig through someone's life history to find the one objectionable thing and then destroy their lives for it' trope.

    Damore wasn't disrupting other people's lives either. Or at least nobody has alleged he was, except via the oil-covered argument that "by expressing his concerns he has disrupted my mental wellbeing". You very clearly cannot tolerate people who disagree with you: you just expressed support for firing him. That means people around you absolutely WILL hide their true feelings from you because they will perceive you as a witch-hunter who is out to get them. You are making a hostile workplace environment and you can't even see it.

      I actually think his writing the document itself was not as disruptive as the resulting outrage and debate. I'm not a witch hunter but I'm flattered you want to assume I'm one simply because I'd rather hunker down and do my job than be forced into a debate about the perception of hiring policies.
