These are two separate things. The fact that she tried to stand up against some of the idiots that inhabit the site doesn't mitigate against the fact that she did not do a good job. She should have resigned or been fired for not doing a good job regardless of how well she coped with the jerks en masse.

They're not the same thing, my worry is that some Redditors (or employees) may not pay attention to the difference and avoid further cleanup.
