>People on here love to hate on Ellen because she's a woman who made it as CEO of a popular tech company. The white male nerds on HN will use any conspiracy theory or baseless attack on her character to try to discredit her.
Do you realise that attributing any controversy about Ellen Pao to 'white male nerds' who are 'trying to use anything to attack and discredit her just because she's a woman' is itself a conspiracy theory, with just as much evidence as that which you criticise?

The posts I've read have overwhelmingly focused on her litigation actions, her husband's shady hedge fund dealings and her desire to turn reddit into a "safe space" through censorship - all of which are, in my opinion, legitimate points of concern.
