I think Ultie found his new Brianna Wu.

I support this pairing.

Though I don't do reddit, I've been following this story.  The more I read about it, the more I dislike Pao.  I mean, this is the same BS that happened with youtube.  Remember the google + disaster?  How they forced everyone to make an account with google + to make videos and comment?  (which they still haven't fixed despite numerous people being against it,  >:( )

Another example of some know it corporate drone taking over and making more changes than necessary.

The longer Ultie goes on about this and other such remarks, the more I'll write.

The next part, if this continues, will involve Secret Communist Fellatio Techniques and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and Sean Hannity watching the action.

And she's been shown the door. So this is moot, anyway.

But there's a chance that she was nothing more than a Machiavellian "bad scapegoat" who was made CEO to implement changes and take the fall for them.  While I'm happy to see her go, I want her actions undone and her followers removed from power.

Goodbye my fair lady.

I wish you the best of luck in whatever comes next. I just wish she could've stayed long enough to shut down the Philosophers of Rape reddit / subreddit.

As long as they're not actively harassing anybody with mountains of evidence or are particularly infamous, Reddit's backwards policy doesn't give shit. FPH just had the bad luck to be visible.

So, you're against free speech?

And you know what subreddit is proven to have a negative impact?  SRS.  Why hasn't it been shut down?

Ellen Pao is toxic.  Reddit's "new direction" has worked to protect a sexual predator:

And the media treats her with kid gloves:

Free speech is something the govt cannot take away. There are no such guarantees from Reddit.
