[Adria hatred] does nothing but burn bridges, and undermines the original problem (the dev being fired) in the first place. If the community instead rallied around the dev & asked him to get reinstated, rather than attacked Adria, it would have ended differently. It's a sad commentary on how corporations work that most of us, viscerally, knew this to be impossible. Reversing a termination-- even an unjust one-- doesn't happen. Executives can't actually admit to a mistake like that. Backtrack on a wrong decision? What are you, some kind of communist? If you're the type who actually admits that you're wrong (which, ya know, happens to all of us) you don't get to be an executive. The best we can hope for is that the guy gets a decent severance and that someone hires him at a "Dongle Guy Premium".
