Apparently this woman didnt. [quote]Richards was sitting in the audience immediately in front of two developers. After someone made a comment about forking a software repository, the two allegedly began making jokes about forking in a sexual manner and “big dongles.” After listening for some time, Richards got fed up, took a picture of the two, and posted it to Twitter: [/quote] So she gets offended by a vague joke, with subtle sexual innuendo, instead of saying something, she posts it on twitter, complains to the people running the con, and ultimately gets both the people fired. She is lauding herself for being courageous and doing such a great thing. Seriously, this is absurd, and she should be embarrassed about how she handled it, and the effects her complaining had. The comments were about objects at the conference, and in-between presentations these guys were just joking around. In no way was it directed at her. Well /b/ has taken notice, and is going after her as well. So what do you guys think about this, was it a drastic over reaction, or was she right in what she did? Personally i think its going to far, considering she makes jokes on twitter that are sexual in nature, and her last name is basically dicks. Im hoping she gets a huge backlash from this. If she wanted equality, she should have turned around, and asked them to stop talking about their small penises, at least act like an adult, and ask them to shut up. PS polls are here baby
