Blaming Marissa Mayer for everything to do with Yahoo really pisses me off. Yahoo was a sinking ship, Mayer tried to save it, she couldn't. The obsession with blaming her feels extremely sexist to me. Regardless of whether it is sexist, people need to lay off of her. Blame is a boring, pathetic game that silently drowns and shuts down the minds of its participants over time. Sometimes people are good in a situation, sometimes they ain't. And sometimes the best person can't save a truly messed up place. I don't understand why this is so difficult to understand.

Because if you tell everyone that you are gonna "save" something repeatedly, publicy, even if you know you have failed and it turns out that you are doing the opposite people get sceptical about you and your character.
