The report you are quoting from yesterday seems to be more Valleywag gossip talk for pageviews most likely taken out of context (look at all the internet rage it has generated just on this site) than actual evil wrongdoing.
- VieElm 12y agoNo, that actually happened. The exec and his CEO have even admitted to and apologized for it. Not one of them has denied any of the terrible quotes attributed to the Uber executive.
- res0nat0r 12y agoSure they stated they could also hire people to dig up dirt on the reporters private lives who are trying to write gossip articles about Uber exec's private goings on, I don't really see any issue with that.
- rtpg 12y agoThe amount of quotes in that article meant that this was not a one-line joke, but a full-blown description of some fantasy. Like somebody going on and on about the ways they would kill their ex-wife or something. It's one thing to feel antagonised by someone, it's another to build out some revenge fantasy in detail.
- res0nat0r 12y agoGiving a gossip columnist a taste of their own medicine is really that bad?
- ghshephard 12y agoThat's interesting missing context - Was this all in response to Sarah writing about the private lives of Uber Execs? I thought it was in response to her writing about the Companies Behavior. If not excusing the idea of writing about the private lives of the reporters, it certainly provides context that didn't exist before.
- thrush 12y agoAgreed. Besides, they've never acted upon those words. It was essentially a thoughtcrime.
