Let me give an example: Justine Sacco is one famous case of a person that was fired from InterActive Corp. for a completely-not-work-related tweet. Setting aside the question of "should Internet have reacted like it did" - the reality is that her employer had little choice, given the circumstances. Yes, it was "outside-the-community behaviour", but the business impact was immediate & considerable, I argue that for the employer there was only one reasonable/rational way to handle the crisis. [edit] Or to take a somewhat extreme hypothetical example - I presume that if you found out that, for whatever reason, a prominent Mozilla exec was secretly funding anti-Net-Neutrality lobby (i.e "out of the community behaviour"), you would expect Mozilla to talk about it and "handle the issue", not just say that "sorry, his own money, his own personal time, he can do whatever he wants to".
