Is there a specific part of what you're referring to with

> This is why I dislike Damore. I don't care what his manifesto says, but I bet that he knew exactly what he was doing. Playing games is pathetic, dude.

I haven't read the manifesto and don't want to procrastinate now. Are you saying he knew his stuff about women being inferior for the work Googlers do (which I wholly disagree with) was him partially BSing and just stirring shit up or trying to get his sexist viewpoint across with any excuse possible?

I haven't read it either, and won't like to. After his arrogant/weird responses, I'm sure it's pure intellectual bullshit. I don't know what his exact motive was, but he sure seems to enjoy the storms he's caused. I just dislike people like that.

uhhh, how can you say it's pure intellectual bullshit without reading? it would me like me calling you an asshole without knowing you.

> it would me like me calling you an asshole without knowing you.

That's not a fair comparison. I skimmed through the manifesto and followed the Damore case close enough to reach that strong opinion (I didn't just wrap myself in Guardianista commentary). After that, and watching his reactions, I just don't have the time nor care to study his manifesto line by line. Would you, if you find a person that you just cannot respect, and have many more to do and think about?

You didn't actually read what he wrote but "followed the Damore case" which means you read what others wrote about him. That's extremely ignorant. I have no respect for people like you who get their opinion served by others. And that's something I can confidently say from your replies.
