   Yes, I understand that. It was a blanket statement about freedom of speech, not necessarily a direct correlation between the situation and freedom of speech.

   Not a bad thing; it is actually quite good. It is more that French speakers compose things certain ways :)

   Ah, two great points: 1) the difficulty / contradictions in community manager / evangelist jobs, and 2) free speech in the US. I am not sure where you are from - France, judging by the hour, grammar, punctuation? - but after living outside

   I see what you're saying. I'm not entirely sure I agree, especially since they waited for a while to come out with commentary about it. Additionally, although she said that they support her, that may have never been true. But I see what y

   > They fired an employee without due process. Apparently a knee-jerk reaction rather than considered disciplinary process. How do you know? Are you at SendGrid? Did you speak to Adria? Have you talked with the founders, CEO, legal couns

   I already ordered a men's shirt. Could I perhaps trade in and get a women's shirt?

    Well somebody was bound to do this. Surprised it didn't happen sooner!

    I wish I could say that I'm surprised that anyone is attacking SendGrid. Even though they have done nothing to deserve such backlash - both before and after firing Adria Richards - it doesn't surprise me in the least that people are taking

    I had the same thought, but I find it tough to be able to accommodate someone when they've done such damage to a company and its image, especially in the way she did it. It's hard to trust an employee after something this heated. Unfortunat

    I just wish they had started out with this statement instead of abruptly announcing her firing. That just seemed uncharacteristic of SendGrid and rather inappropriate. However, you're very right in that it was a reasoned, rational response.

    Also, just checked: they do have a General Counsel, Michael Tognetti. Whether he was involved or not, I don't know. It was pretty ballsy to go about this the way they have, if you ask me.

    True, but I do know they have dedicated HR staff and Isaac Saldana et al don't seem to be that loosey-goosey, if you will, about decisions like this. On the other hand, there seems to be little other than a few messages about status updates

    If it's scheduled from Hootsuite then it doesn't matter; it will still post.

    Considering a lot of corporate protocol and the pace at which this is happening... 1) I think they're holding off on all comment besides what we're seeing (if it's real), and 2) I agree with the person who says that no legal department woul
