Nobody has had their career ruined. She's just had a job offer at one of the most prestigious and influential sources of opinion writing change their mind about hiring her.

It seems to me poor and distasteful use of language is a pretty reasonable reason to not want someone in that position.

There are plenty of outlets for idiot 4chan style insults in the world, I'm not sure we really need people from that community holding one of the top positions in tech journalism and opinion writing.

I wouldn't be surprised if I learned that a fair share of high ranking tech people spent time on 4chan.
