GitHub Founder Resigns Following Harassment Investigation

An anonymous reader writes "Late Yesterday, GitHub concluded its investigation regarding sexual harassment within its work force, and although it found no evidence of 'legal wrongdoing,' Tom Preston-Werner, one of its founding members implicated in the investigation resigned. In its statement, GitHub vows to implement 'a number of new HR and employee-led initiatives as well as training opportunities to make sure employee concerns and conflicts are taken seriously and dealt with appropriately.' Julie Ann Horvath, the former GitHub employee whose public resignation last month inspired the sexual harassment investigation, found the company's findings to be gratuitous and just plain wrong."

Re:The term "Sexual Harassment" is very misleading

why can't you just grow up and treat women as human beings with equal status. Neanderthals like you are the problem.

It is 2014. In the year 2014, we all know that sexual harassment charges are often wildly overblown and nothing but a weapon of revenge. Remember Donglegate?

I love your witch hunt mentality. The guilty ones are out there somewhere, and if we tag a few innocents along the way, that's OK because nobody is innocent. They're all guilty of being men, all men are rapists, and go ahead and throw in race somewhere as well.
