His behavior was perfectly fine unless you assume that the "interview" as published was wrong. We now know it isn't and the facts have changed.

I doubt he would have tweeted any of it, if he had known this.

Is it really deserving of the level of vitriol heaped on the issue? Even as printed it would only be mildly controversial, and even then not nearly noteworthy. It strikes me as me as offhanded comment from the first time I heard it.

Seriously,

I took a few minutes to catch up on what JKB is saying and

A) His primary concern seem to be to promote all of the work he's done for women in IT and to make himself seem like a victim because of the backlash from his ramblings about PG.

B) he's completely ignoring PG's side of the story and continuing to promote the ideas mentioned in A.

I'm so sick of the insanity surrounding the issue of the lack of women in IT. Yes, it's a real problem and steps should be taken to fix it but the tsunami of hate that is aimed at anyone who is portrayed as remotely uncaring / oblivious to the issue is beyond disgusting. This is not how to make things better.
