>The reasoning presented in this thread is pretty representative of the thought processes Damore laid out in his memo.

Logical, rational, built from facts. The thought process used by a Harvard grad, MIT research scientist.

>Which is pretty indicative of why he was fired.

"They hated him because he told the truth."

"Told the truth." LOL. Yep, the kind of truth that got him fired with cause so hard the NLRB wouldn't go to bat for him.

Apparently, being a Harvard grad, MIT research scientist doesn't guarantee an understanding of how not to get fired. Oh well. Google can always replace him with another Harvard grad, MIT research scientist with a better ability to play well with others. That's the perk of being Google; you don't have to tolerate the semi-productive smart kid who alienates his co-workers with "facts" he thinks he understands but doesn't. :-p

Would you please not feed flamewars on this site by replying? What a train wreck.

That's been my general thought. Legally a company can fire you for any reason except the ones they aren't allowed too. Trying to undermine a companies diversity policies on a company owned channel when said company already has public problem with diversity, good way to get 86'd.

You've been breaking the site guidelines by using HN for flamewar and ideological battle, and even personal attack. We ban accounts that do that—it's not what HN is for, and it destroys the curious conversation that HN is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules when posting here, we'd be grateful.

p.s. I've banned https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=TA0X2. It's not ok to use multiple accounts to get around rate limits and whatnot, so please don't do that.
