If someone start a fire in a building then they would be stupid to argue that the reason people got hurt was because firemen didn't react quickly enough.
There is no doubt she started it, she could have prevented all this from happening in the first place.
* She took offence over a private conversation between
two others.
* She publicly shamed them by including the picture etc.
She could have talked to them. She could have talked to the organizers. Instead she decided to abuse her position and go straight to public shaming.
That said, yes, a lot of interesting decisions here.
- maxerickson 12y agoHank's former employers are not combustible inanimate objects. They have responsibility for their own actions. I mean, imagine if someone they knew nothing about had told them he was a space alien and they fired him for that. Who would you blame then? Anyway, again, my point was that there was internet hate machine harassment following the incident at Pycon, following from some minor thing that should not really even catch the interest of strangers, just like in this story.
