This is a reaction to the rise of the trolls. Trolling your coworkers and engaging in bad faith argumenting has no place at work. It represents a profound disrespect of your colleagues, it is counterproductive, and is distracting.

It’s not unreasonable to put these restrictions on - which btw are content neutral - workplace tools/discussions. It’s not an attempt to quell dissent but to focus it in a useful manner.

I believe, that damore was arguing in bad faith, attempting to trigger and troll, and do so in “polite” language, which doesn’t excuse him at all. You can’t write a meandering argument that isn’t well founded, filled with incorrect suppositions, and bury that all your female coworkers are not as qualified and expect that to end well.

No he wasn't arguing in bad faith. He's just a nerdy guy who took the claims about wanting honest feedback at face value and told people what he thought instead of reading between the lines and realizing he was in a high school clique environment. If you can't even see that, the one with bad faith is you.
