Honest question: how does a prominent person quitting publicly make it more clear that there's a concerted effort (which insinuates an arranged effort, basically a conspiracy) to mislead people? If anything I took it as the opposite, that there is likely some incident(s) that concretely points to sexist behavior. I'm not saying you're wrong, but it seems to me that the simplest explanation is that Julie Ann Horvath quit because she was fed up, not to harm her ex-employer for a bigger cause.
I just realized you may mean the author of the article is trying to harm github's image, which I agree is possible. But the real story to me is Horvath quitting, not someone writing an article about it.
- droopyEyelids 13y agoDisclaimer: I am speaking of the general case here... NOT about J.A.H. But what you're missing is that people sometimes crack up. We're all a little unstable. You see two choices: The person is harassed out by the conspiracy in their company, or the person quits to fuel the conspiracy they're a part of. I say there is a third choice: The person freaked out, or was under too much stress, or had a period of mental instability, and 'flamed out'. This actually happens to prominent people pretty frequently, hell it happens to most people at some time in their life. I've done it before. Fortunately I wasn't in a public position.
