The meme templates weren’t even the worst part. People stalked him online and leaked some of the posts to his next employer.

Yeah, it wasn't great. I think people learned from that episode and made a mental note to not do that again, though.

Ultimately, the person in question had a large volume of publicly-available writing, so I'm not sure it changed anything. But it does leave a bad taste in one's mouth because looking back, it was such a trivial thing that he was known for. In the years to come, shit got a lot more serious.
