He was speaking anonymously and got doxed - as were the developers joking at the conference. We all do and say stupid things now and then and if somebody were filming you 24/7 it would not be very long before they documented something that was a social faux pas.
There is a big difference between blurting out drunken nonsense and soberly, premeditated publishing under a personally identifiable account, especially if it is part of your job to be the public face of the company.
- kohanz 11y ago> He was speaking anonymously On-camera, being interviewed by a television reporter who was not hiding the fact that she was recording, and he was responding directly to her questions and under no obligation to answer. You consider that "anonymously"?! Let me guess, he was drunk and thus should not be accountable for any of his actions.
- mc32 11y agoDo you think if we could that we should subject every idiocy fueled by alcohol, narcotics, etc., to the court of public opinion. Things that people say in frustration, a fit of rage, etc? If you were to record surreptitiously everything people said under all circumstances, you'd have a whole bunch of people to castigate and berate. More than you can imagine.
- kohanz 11y agoI think you're perhaps focusing on the PyCon case while I'm speaking only of the FHRITP case. If your "idiocy fueled by alcohol" is volunteering offensive answers to a reporter, on television, you've entered the court of public opinion on your own accord.
