- jessaustin 14y agoI prefer mercy to "justice", as if the latter ever happens, as if we'd recognize it if it did. I don't want anyone to be fired for her speech, but I realize that in this world it's going to happen occasionally. I'm sure you'll misunderstand this comment, because you have systematically misunderstood every comment in this thread so far, but I mean it when say that I would have preferred that none of the parties involved be fired as a result of this incident.
- zem 14y agoyou need to read this comment for context if you think i'm systematically misunderstanding the tenor of this thread. i admit it might look that way if you don't start from there. edit: this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5411071 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5411071
- jessaustin 14y agoGet a good night's sleep and re-read that one in the morning. The very first sentence of that is about consequences for the business, and the rest of it is in response to that. Others have suggested that the SendGrid employee should be fired, but that's not what Karunamon is suggesting in the comment you link.
- Karunamon 14y agoNono. Please understand, that is exactly what I am suggesting. Adria's actions unjustly caused another person to lose their employment and very possibly negatively impact their future employment opportunities. At least in my mind, it's only fair that Sendgrid re-evaluate whether they want their "evangelist" acting in such a manner.
- jessaustin 14y agoWell I'm a moron. I guess you got your wish.
