> NVIDIA didn't fire her, and they should have. Talk about cancel culture.

  Perhaps if she makes wild accusations like that she should be cancelled?

  Forcing its advocates to play by their own rules is probably the best way to beat it.

    I think Alinsky's fourth rule is commonly understood to have the addendum "and actively dissuade them from trying to make you live up to your own through appeals to their better nature".

  Cancel culture is when a mob of people, usually on Twitter, most of whom have no direct relation to the institutions in question, try to create a bunch of bad publicity for a target at an institution for the purposes of making that institution decide to cut ties with the target. I think JPKab is saying that an NVIDIA employee mistreated someone who is effectively a prospective customer for NVIDIA (or who is working to create prospective customers), and that this by itself should lead NVIDIA management to fire that employee even in the absence of public attention to the event.

  Not at all. The way she acted created serious risks to her employer, and anyone seeing her postings could reasonably conclude that she was conducting personal attacks on others and doing it on behalf of NVIDIA. When you declare your employer in your bio and talk about your field of work, it becomes relevant to your continued employment.

  In fact, for the last several weeks a whole bunch of misogynistic Pedro Domingos fanboys (full of resentment and dishonesty, like JPKab) harassed her so much on Twitter that she deleted her account - but remember, this is a Good Cancelling because she criticized a emeritus crank.
