I'm not sure how many people have the PR-savvy needed to avoid that kind of problem.

So even if the consequences of not avoiding that landmine are awful, I'm not sure it's fair to castigate him for that.

(N.B.: I haven't looked carefully into how he handled that affair, so my comment might be misinformed.)

Most people have enough sense to not post something so inflammatory in an office system where it can be accessed by random coworkers. He could have been more nuanced about it but the controversy seems intentional and deliberate and he absolutely deserves the whole shitstorm he's facing.

I don't know where exactly I heard it, but: email like it might be read aloud in a deposition.

The fact that literally nobody else is famous for doing something so breathtakingly stupid tells us that basically everybody else is not as stupid as this guy.
