Very unbecoming of someone in his position. Seems people were right to be concerned.

From what I recall it was more that some people (not sure if they were students) were feeling harassed by his behaviour.

He should be worried about the fact that he accepted other people telling him how to behave. THAT'S humiliating.

wly_cdgr | karma 1662 | avg karma 1.34 · | 2021-08-03 15:27:40

I mean, if he actually really behaved like that, that's deeply shameful and he should resign

The more alarming part of this is how incompetent the guy was. If he'd been just slightly less obvious it sounds like he'd have gotten away with his campaign of harassment.

I agree, and frankly I think it's a bit disgusting for people here to monday-morning-quarterback this man and his motives and decisions.

If it was easy to avoid the situation, he would have.

Why is that? He has been behaving terribly, I would be concerned about the ethics of anyone who doesn't hate him at this point.

Seems like he's being made an example of. A clear and stern warning to others contemplating similar actions?

Eh we don't really know what happened and to what extent he was badmouthed. If it's as bad as he says, then yes that was uncalled for

diminoten | karma 1949 | avg karma 0.55 · | 2019-04-29 15:59:28+00:00

It's not politics, it's human decency, and he violated human decency.

pests | karma 3959 | avg karma 1.48 · | 2023-11-11 00:41:14

He has stated he does such. Which is why some people are upset, apparently.

DanBC | karma 56529 | avg karma 2.13 · | 2021-03-29 22:16:18+00:00

He's also being targeted for his behaviour in the workplace.

hetspookjee | karma 1354 | avg karma 3.13 · | 2017-12-16 09:56:24

It's as if his great work contribution warrant some kind of free pass for abhorrent and unacceptable behaviour.

sneakernets | karma 341 | avg karma 1.26 · | 2018-12-31 22:52:52+00:00

I read the comments on the article, and looks like some of his colleagues posted on there saying he had embarrassed some good ol' boys, and the good Lord knows we can't have that, now can we?

celticninja | karma 5517 | avg karma 1.67 · | 2014-04-03 20:14:00+00:00

I think this is a shame that he was hounded out of his job and the organisation because of his personal political stance. I disagree with him 100% on the issue but this is not a result that furthers any cause and doesn't cover anyone in glory.

antonvs | karma 2874 | avg karma 2.02 · | 2021-04-14 10:08:32+00:00

His position was not reasonable. I'm not taking about civility.

WhackyIdeas | karma 666 | avg karma 2.2 · | 2024-01-30 14:49:59

I agree, it is shocking.

And with my other comments being downvoted, it’s incredible that people are so up his arse that they live in a bubble thinking that it’s ok to belittle someone like that.

Imagine working under someone like that… wow.

They were professionally embarrassed. Hence the agressive stance towards him.

menotyou43 | karma 12 | avg karma 6.0 · | 2019-10-01 00:57:54+00:00

My qualm is with the term "vilified." It implies that he is being done undue harm - he's getting what he should be getting. He should not be in a leadership position.

Mikeb85 | karma 11376 | avg karma 2.31 · | 2014-04-04 14:39:22+00:00

It sets an extremely bad precedent that he was hounded so vehemently for a personal opinion he never brought to the workplace, and which is fairly mainstream, whether or not you agree with it.
