There are some gems on her Twitter account. Here she is making a sexist joke, just like the one that got the guy fired:

   

and this brilliant observation:

Spoiler: she was fired

This was posted on her twitter account yesterday. I had a lot of lols on this one.

"Hey @mundanematt, it's clear from the last 24 hours you're a bully. @SendGrid supports me. Stop trolling."

I read some of her twitter account and she started acting the victim saying people where bullying her. This seems to be a defense mechanism these women like to use. She gets a man fired and is now bullied.

and this brilliant observation:

As a black man this ...claim is one of my personal pet peeves.

Not only are we capable of being racist towards whites, but also racist against each other. source: my family, friends and pretty much any other person of colour that I've had such candid discussions with. ... that and I have a fucking brain and can think.

EVERYBODY IS CAPABLE OF BEING RACIST

Just today, I read a NY-Beta-Times article where an Arab American on the Cairo tube witnessed an Egyptian Arab harassing a Sudanese chick



P.s. white people, you're pretty harsh with each other too. (Think Irish, Italian, most EE etc)

On a comment thread someone pointed out that it was a joke. Woman responds with: I thought jokes were supposed to be funny. The hamster logic there is that jokes are only to be allowed if they're found funny by the feminist.

Reminds me of the atheist feminist who bitched out the guy for inviting her for coffee. She might as well have said: I thought men who asked me on a date were supposed to be hot! It's the same logic; only if you make her feel good will your 'bad behaviour' be forgiven.

It's a victim mentality that lets people absolve themselves of responsibility. Infantilising nonsense.

This is exactly how I felt when when I found out she was fired:

SendGrid is still down.

Post: #61

Can I just say something? I love you guys; not like I want to get you a ring, a honeymoon, and then say jack shit as you go from sexy and hot to fat, or something that I would lie about if it means I got sex...really, I just love the passion. White knights can steam, political pussies can drone, but at least we get things done here.



Aside from that, glad to see that there's still some sense of justice in the West; I've been dreading returning home in a month (even if I'm spending much of it in Vegas and possibly Montreal), but it's good to see victories happening. I don't want to live in a place where I can't make dick jokes (I've even learned to make them in Chinese...ni de yinjing wei tai xiao yindao laoshu...your dick is too small for a rat's vagina, yeah...)

Now it is time to turn our attention to PlayHaven, the employer who fired the developer who made the dongle joke. This is their contact page:

http://www.playhaven.com/contact

This is what CEO Andy Wang had to say:

"PlayHaven had an employee who was identified as making inappropriate comments at PyCon, and as a company that is dedicated to gender equality and values honorable behavior, we conducted a thorough investigation. The result of this investigation led to the unfortunate outcome of having to let this employee go. We value and protect the privacy of our employees, both past and present, and we will not comment on all the factors that contributed to our parting ways."

Post: #63

Sent them a polite letter:

Quote:Dear Sirs,

Please reconsider your decision to fire the employee whom Ms. Adria Richards from SendGrid had accused of a "sexist joke" after eavesdropping on an innocent, private conversation between him and his friend in a manner that can only be described as "KGB-like". SendGrid has likewise seen the truth of this case and has fired Ms. Richards for tarnishing their company name with her personal smear campaign. They too understand that it was wrong for her to harass your developer like that, when no harm was either done or intended by him.

I realize that there might be little to gain for you here, particularly as I've never played a lot of mobile games (although I've advertised a few), so any benefit from re-hiring this unfortunate person will be only in the moral sense.

In any case, best wishes and good luck!

Cheers
((real) name, country)

Go ahead and send your own e-mails to them. I propose not drawing feminism into this so not to freak out guys over there.

Interesting fact: after the news of the firing of Adria Richards, Sendgrid went from some 1500 likes on its Facebook page to over 2100 and is growing at a rate of at least 50 / hour.

"This bitch is going crazy."

She's apparently going crazy dealing with "threats" and the like against Adria Richards. Massive fallout. I assume it's not us who is doing this, it's hundreds of angry, frustrated Beta computer programmers. She keeps calling them "trolls;" meaning in her mind, feminists can say whatever the fuck they want, but anyone who gets angered and responds is a "troll." I assume this kind of arrogant statement is making the blood of the Beta crew boil even hotter.

You don't want to get sexually-deprived Betas angry. It get ugly.

(By the way, her name is Leigh Honeywell, a pretty ironic name since she seems anything BUT sweet.)

This is the real issue. There's always going to be some crazy chick saying whatever. It's the response of people in power that matters. If Andy Wang had a spine this would have been a non-story. Hell, as mentioned above, if the dude who had gotten fired had a spine it probably wouldn't have happened. Personally I think the guy is better off. Who wants to work for that kind of spineless prick?

Maybe Gloria, but I think ol' Al will avoid this one. Even HE can't spin this into racism somehow.

Pathetic man, he'd rather appease one feminist rather than side with his own employee.

So, Adria Richards just got shitcanned and justice was served.



How long do you think until she runs to Daddy Government by filing a lawsuit?
