Want to watch a sexist witch-hunt? Check out how reddit is flipping their collective shit over the perceived infractions of Ellen Pao. Nobody raged this hard against Kevin Rose when Digg fucked up; he just became another an over-the-hill Silicon Valley bazillionaire. And Pao's TOS changes don't have anywhere near the impact on the average user that Digg's overhaul had.
