You're the guy who got fired. Why would anyone listen to you? Just because it wasn't for cause doesn't mean they just didn't get fed up with you sucking and decide to get you out ASAP.

This is how people will perceive this.

I don't disagree. It's interesting seeing this angle on it though:

But again, I don't disagree with you. There is a lot of grey around in being fired and people tend to believe authority over non-authority (for good or bad, that seems to be the case).
