Which is all well and good, but the author of that blog post, the one who stated he would not hesitate to fire Ben if he were an employee, has no problem mocking bisexuals in public presentations:

To date, Bryan Cantrill remains CTO of Joyent. The corporate position appears to be that blatant homophobia by employees is acceptable, but improper pronouns are terminable offenses.
- afandian 12y agoThat's extraordinarily hypocritical when you compare it to his blog post. That joke was completely inappropriate. http://www.joyent.com/blog/the-power-of-a-pronoun http://www.joyent.com/blog/the-power-of-a-pronoun
- astrodust 12y agoThat does seem like an inappropriate joke, bad taste no doubt, but a firing offense? Only if this was representative of a pattern.
- philh 12y agothrowaway wasn't suggesting that Bryan should be fired for that.
- makomk 12y agoI'm not sure I'd call that "mocking" bisexuals, it's closer to mocking the shitty way other people treat them.
- netstag 12y agoNever heard of him or Joyent till now, but I tried watching that video, skipping along and had a hard time not finding him being offensive. He even goes on to make light of nazis and mock a past co-workers "galactic butt", so then I just skipped even faster. What's sad is that he seems to be talking about introducing 'drag' within the company and yet I doubt he realizes the irony given 90% of his talking content is just that.
