...let me ask why you assume that my observation is due to how their twitter sounded in my head, based on a few internet sentences?
Because you yourself said you "assume she's an unpleasant person" because of her Twitter, which implies you've never met her. Interpreting sentences is a fill in the blank process rather than hearing what someone is saying in context.
You are right. She might be a sweet loving person who only wants the very best for everyone in this world, man or woman, race creed or religion.
But here's the problem. What she wrote is the sort of thing a sexist bigoted man hating asshole might write.
So yeah, she might not be a sexist bigoted man hating asshole.
She's just writing using the language that a sexist bigoted man hating asshole might use. That doesn't mean she is, just that she argues with those tool
So you can understand a lot of people's confusion with thinking that she might personally reflect
the qualities of such a person when she writes that way.
Now I'm not sure whether or not she deserved to be fired over this incident. Given her twitter I can only assume that she not a very pleasant person. I can understand that ArenaNet does not want to be associated with that part of her. But that doesn't tell a lot about her actual work at ArenaNet. For example I think that Orson Scott Card is an asshole, but his Ender's Game is still a fine piece of writing and worth a read. If this was the first incident I think she deserved a warning and not to be fired right away.
You do realize that a woman who takes sexism to setting 11 is a hand grenade with the pin pulled, I hope.
Taking advice and turning it into "mansplaining" (did she just assume his gender?) is the mark of a misandryc bigot. If a male told a woman he didn't need to listen to her because "she's only a woman" would have a mob at his front door after being Doxxed
But here's the problem at the company level. #metoo has men being very careful about any and all interactions with women in the workplace.
Given her proven record of trying to turn everything into a sex issue, and how she has shown definitively that any input from a man will be rejected as "mansplaining", it is going to be difficult to find males on staff that will work with her.
I wouldn't be in a room with her without a witness present. Such is life when you decide to be a hand grenade with the pin pulled. So she pretty much got exactly what she deserved.
Essentially pillorying for "sexism on twitter" is finally starting to go both ways, rather than being a one way train that it was for last few years. And the standard misandrist crowd that is used to it being a one way street is reeling.
Because eventually people figure out that the woman who always brays about men - especially "white" men, being sexist and racist are both sexist and racist themselves.
While I don't know that this woman is racist, but she has more than adequately shown that she is sexist at a level that needs to maybe find a job at HuffPo, where bigoted sexists are celebrated.
She definitely needs to be directed away from public commentary if she cannot be polite and non-sexist.
Reading comprehension fail; that's hardly what happened. What happened... was that on a public forum, in front of the world to see, she - and her more experienced colleague who had his tongue up her ass - revealed some particularly entertaining personality flaws... and got what they - and far too many others clearly fucking deserve.
what is impressive is the double standard employed by some folks.
While she was on her "mansplaining" tirade, she didn't seem to mind giving a tour de force in "womansplaining" and incredibly rude and bigoted sexism on her part.
My non-genderized advice to the woman is simple - You were acting like an asshole, Ms Price. Don't act like an asshole does.
Since I believe in the usually futile approach of trying to counter lies with facts...
All that you write is completely true, and conforms to actual laws of physics.
But you must remember that the people who disagree have very strong convictions and cannot agree to this, because they cannot and do not understand science, they believe that you make up your mind, and reality must conform, and that their personal politics trumps science. A true Triumph of the Will.
And when they finally accept the fact of the energy retention effects of the so-called greenhouse gases, it will somehow be the fault of her emails.
The laws of physics to not care what they think, and neither do I. So ridicule is in order.

Giving the advertiser upvote control and banning privileges over the subreddit's mods is going to go over real well I predict. LOL
Exactly - I mean who in the bloody hell is going to want to participate in a forum like that?
Oh look Ads! We want ads! we want to be controlled by advertizers and never ever post anythin that displeases the Advertiser!
Next up? Television ads where they tap into your Google Home or Amazon Echo and send thugs to beat the shit out of you if you say anything bad about the products.
As long as they fail to shut down Trump's account, they are willfully ignoring their own policies in order to remain relevant. Selective enforcement is always used for covert abuse. Twitter is a Trump supporter.
They wanted to shut Emperor Bonespurs down, but Bob Mueller called and told them he wasn't done collecting evidence yet.
Why am I reminded of that scene from Enemy At The Gate?
"Honey? the Visigoths are here. They want to know if you can come out to play?"
dunno why that just popped into my head.
Anyhow, I know everyone is going off on Politics, but I'l bet a lot of these accounts are leftovers from the services that would get followers for you in a weird Twitter popularity contest for some coin.
I'll bet after the purge, Kim Cardassian is no longer the most popular person on Twitter. The family will probably sue Twitter now.
Difference is, the muslims will kill you. The christians will bring round coffee and donuts.
The ones that raised me might beat the shit out of you in god's name, or the men of gawd, who deliver his holy word might butt fuck you or want you to help Father O'Malley in the special sacrament of helping him make white wee-wee. Though perhaps they hand out donuts afterward.
Religion is a cancer, and much evil is performed in the name of gawd. So don't get all uppity about how good the Christians are. Muslims are worse, but The people of jeebuz have their own list of fun times they deliver in the name of the gawd that commands them.
Don'tt be a coward. Blaspheme Allah, too. Do it on the street right in front of a mosque/
You might be making the mistake of thinking that my distaste for Fundamentalist Christian means I support Muslims. Religion is a cancer, and any religion that supports killing those who don't agree with it needs terminated with extreme prejudice.
If most Americans got sick in that way, US pathologists and epidemiologist would have book chapters on that.
This is just like coal - Coal is actually good for you. This bullshit of leftists trying to besmirch the effects of chemicals is leading to the downfall of western civilization. Even CO2 is critical for health, and god fearing common sense Americans should breath a atmosphere of 100 percent CO2 for at least 5 hors everyt day. There are no substances that are bad for you. God would not put anything on earth that would harm his greatest creation.
If we're breathing in enough formaldehyde to get leukemia, why have I never met anyone with leukemia? Am I just lucky and I put out a lucky aura that protects those around me?
Because you play with yourself when no one is looking?
The length of time that Formaldehyed has been know as a carcinogen pre-dates the EPA. Regardless, I have a special cocktail for you. Foprmaldehyde and Benzene and Carbon Tetrachloride with a twist of lemon, followed by a fresh garden salad covered with berrylium and asbestos. It is good for you - there are no dangerous substances, all lefty lies.

And "asshole" is gender-fluid.
Especially after eating at Taco Bell.

I thought that was a child cruelty issue?
I bet they have a word for that. A word. A long one.
You are on a real roll this weekend! Come on mods, this should be at +5 funny or insighful.

Yet, we cling to "economic growth" like priests in an Altar Boy.
FIxed that for ya.
I hear they are going to replace "sex" with "gender" in all those places.
Wonder how they'll handle the words class, association, etc...
In the brave new world of left and right wing censorship nothing will be allowed.

There's plenty more where they came from.

Middlesx is the name of a county in the UK, the name of a University and a County Cricket Club.

How am I supporting a criminal? Do you know what a criminal is?
You.
Quick! Somebody call the Thought Police!
I thought that would be your thought.
Both your quotes. Pick the one that projects what you actually believe.
I'll pick the second quote, because the first quote was from Oswald McMeany, not me.
I thought you were serious for a second or two LOL.
I sometimes come very close to a Poe.
I'm a programmer... I don't eat salad. Just pizza.
Ah.... we have found common ground. I like a little Cheese whiz on my pizza when the wide isn't looking.
Difference is, the muslims will kill you. The christians will bring round coffee and donuts.
I'm neither Christian nor Muslim, but your generalization is off. Muslims historically have been the more tolerant religion.
ISIS and the Taliban have been tolerating the living shit out of other Muslims in their holy quest for peace. Change my mind.

Heil Hitlary! Death to the American working class! Heil Hitlary!
An adult beverage is in order.
I would also argue that today's Democrats are more like Goldwater Republicans than the current crop of actual Republicans.
It is quite sad how far they have fallen from the party of Lincoln to ensuring black people could vote to the hot mess that we have today.
Good point, and yes. I was a pretty reliable Republican voter at one time. Now? Nah.
