There is nothing in my comment to suggest I hold the opinion that everyone who has a positive opinion about what happened didn't read the document. Rather, I just stated a fact: Very few people read it, relative to the number of people who have opinions on it.
His lawsuit is not BS; you should try reading the court filing. He has multiple examples of Google HR officially condoning systemic racism and sexism. Who knows how it will come out, but he has a case.

> Correct, and that's why his lawsuit is BS. He caused outrage both externally and internally.
How did he cause an external outrage? Did he leak the document to the press? Did he speak to the press at all?
There are quite a few people to blame for the external outrage, but he is not one of them.
You need to learn that people can have a different opinion then you, having read the same document.
> Damore was fired because of the outrage, not because of the article, but the outrage was manufactured by a sensationalist click machine and information overload culture literally championed by the company he was fired from.
Correct, and that's why his lawsuit is BS. He caused outrage both externally and internally. You had an employee that others would refuse to work with.
Of course he was fired.
