SG customer as well. What's all the negativity towards them? Is there something I should know about them? I wasn't aware of any incidents.

  There's not much negativity toward them just a bit of criticism on how they're handling this outage. As I mentioned in another comment of mine on that thread - they should have reached out to customers and let them know there's an outage (especially if this is an outage that is > 10 minutes). P.S: I still think Sendgrid are awesome and fortunately they'll listen to what we have to say and next outage will be handled differently.

    A female Sendgrid employee overheard a joke mentioning a dongle looking like a phallus, took a picture of the guy, posted it to Twitter, and he got fired from his job without anyone hearing his side of the story. His apologies were ignored. Now the mob is mad at Sendgrid.

      and by mob we mean possibly one person acting like a dongle and knocking out a website.

        This story was all over 4chan today. This probably means there's more than one person behind this.

        Can I have a picture of you please for using the word dongle in a fashion that I may or may not be upset about? You know, for internet justice..
