That was decently written but cringe worthy. Cringe goes out towards the NYT editorial Board and the people that felt that they are important enough to have a NYT editorial about silly internet drama. I should see if they want an article about the time I got butthurt about something that happened at the animal shelter I work at when an old lady told me I wasn't disposing of doggie doodoo in the proper way.

Also noteworthy IMO is the fact that people are forgetting that: 1) /u/dacvak was apparently fired for being to sick to work (which is illegal in many civilized countries); and 2) redditgifts founder /u/kickme444 was fired after moving to SF a few months ago from the town he moved to because of the local family support for a family member that has MS.

I am also surprised that more people have not been surprised that significant RES contributor /u/solidwhetstone has stepped down from his roles due to the toxicity.
