i don't get it, are there bears on the internet? or people?
Straight forward? Or another analogy first?
Don't walk into a tiger's den and then throw rocks at it expecting it to be your friend.
Nah... that one was kinda wordy.
Don't shit in the street and expect no one to say it stinks.
Crass, but more to the point.
In other words, it's not twitter's fault the guy did something stupid just like it's not the bear's fault if a camper stumbles onto it's den. We all assume some risk when we do things, and to then blame other people for said risks is just childish. That was his problem, and the thing is, it was caught early enough he could have appologised for his remarks. He could have said "Hey, I didn't mean to take it this far, just a little stressed out." Instead what he did was he continued to taunt and place blame on other people. I said when I first posted in this thread that I didn't think he should have been fired for it, but he did something stupid and now he he (and others) will learn to be more cautious.
