He didn't set out to get the guy fired. There's no way you can justify calling him a douchebag for criticising a website's design.

He did say:

  Fire your entire design team, if you have one.
  Hire an outside design firm ... as quickly as possible.
  Your in-house team is obviously incapable of building a good experience.
  Get outside help. [1]

Then backpedaled [2] after he got a response outlining that he has no idea how large companies operate.

I think it is safe to justify calling someone a douchebag when they attempt to claim ownership of a very generic style and concept.
