Can you support this beyond being your own judgemental assumption? Assuming everyone that disagrees with you is acting in bad faith isn't reasonable.

It is my social commentary, based on the fact-free and argument-free disavowals of the author's memo, not as wrong but as morally intolerable.

CNN.com's headline article yesterday was something about him having said "women are biologically unfit for technology jobs" which is a malicious and willful misreading meant to give basis for the moral panic around the memo.
