I'm pretty sure you are confusing Pax Dickinson with someone else. http://valleywag.gawker.com/business-insider-ctos-is-your-new-tech-bro-nightmare-1280336916

Just a bunch of tweets mocking feminists, liberals and Mel Gibson.
[edit: Tom I really don't understand how you think this disagrees with what I said above. How do these links imply any misconduct, or anything other than disagreeing with feminists? Are you asserting that opposing the welfare state or mocking Mel Gibson is what got him fired?]
- tptacek 12y agoYou just refuted your own comment upthread and pretended like that was a rebuttal!
- SamReidHughes 12y ago> How do these links imply any misconduct, or anything other than disagreeing with feminists? You're talking about these tweets with rape jokes, tweets where he's an asshole toward poors, and "ironic" use of the N-word? ... Are you high?
- yummyfajitas 12y agoYou realize the "rape joke" with the N-word is mocking Mel Gibson, right? See #2 on this list: http://www.ranker.com/list/top-10-most-offensive-mel-gibson-quotes-/stupid-celebrity-quotes http://www.ranker.com/list/top-10-most-offensive-mel-gibson-... As for the rest of it, if you want to argue that libertarianism rather than anti-feminism got him fired, square that viewpoint with Business Insider's statement about firing him. They didn't say he was too conservative, they said he disagreed with them on diversity. Disagreeing with feminists and liberals is not misconduct. Neither is making fun of drunk celebrities.
