This part right here, pal. Asking is proposing something, and politely accepting whatever answer is given back.
What he said was closer to coercing and appealing to community shaming, which is evidently not professional.
- baddox 6y agoThat is not coercion or appealing to community shaming. Those are both terms that have meanings. Telling people to consider the actions of the developers of a software project is not coercion or an appeal to community shaming.
- defen 6y agoAt the end of the day it doesn't matter. No one's rights were violated. Apparently you have a different definition of what constitutes appropriate public speech for employees than Facebook does, but so what? You're not his employer. This guy said something and got fired for it. That is the system working how everyone wants it to.
- baddox 6y agoWhether Facebook has the legal right to fire him is not what is being discussed.
- defen 6y agoWhat are we discussing? Whether Facebook was justified in firing him? By definition if they didn't fire him for a prohibited reason, it was justified, right? Is your argument that it was "unfair" to fire him for an act of speech?
