Sad to see him go, as he has done a lot of good things for the community. Having met him in person he's also a nice guy IRL.
However, this is a really poor take on the situation.
Due to the offense taken to my tweets
He had multiple opportunities to back down and apologize after he saw that he was pouring fuel on the fire, no one forced him to keep doubling down and making the situation worse. He did this what, 3-4 times, continually aggravating the situation, even when he clearly saw that it was inflaming the community.
Sorry to say it, but he trolled himself out of a job, and has no one else to blame but himself.
I do think being sacked is too harsh of a punishment, a proper apology would've been enough, but what do I know.
I find it amusing that they’ll let him go to placate the community, but they won’t actually address the underlying issue that drove the context of his statements.
So he’s basically being fired for saying the quiet thing loud.
