Definitely. That kind of behavior shouldn't be tolerated. 2 4.00%
Eh, probably. You can't do that kind of thing as a semi-public figure. 9 18.00%
Na, probably not. It was uncalled for, but hardly worth firing someone over. 17 34.00%
Are you crazy? Who the hell gets fired for hitting on a girl? 22 44.00%

Is this firing justified?
For the five of you who know who he is, Adrian Dater, the beat writer for Avalanche hockey for the Denver Post since 1994, was fired today for being creepy to a girl on Twitter. You can check out the posts on her account here if you'd like, but the key screenshots she posted were these:

Post from May 2013 where he comments about her profile photo:
Spoiler!


Post from October 2013 where he basically says she's not worth debating because she's a woman:
Spoiler!


Recent post where he asks for an uncropped version of her (already suggestive) profile photo:
Spoiler!


The interwebs seem to think that he's an evil bastard who deserves everything coming to him, but I honestly have trouble feeling like the guy should have been FIRED for this. So I figured I'd ask the undoubtedly female friendly CP how you all feel to get some perspective.

The only thing that is relevant to me is the last tweet on the second spoiler. You just can't say that and expect to keep your job, especially when you work for a newspaper, which is a struggling business anyway. It doesn't matter whether you think he "deserves" to be fired or not, letting this moron go is the correct business decision. A newspaper can't afford protests and boycots.

It's ridiculous. A man can't say anything anymore.

Looks like that was just a few of many things that got him fired.

Yeah, I'm going to agree with AL here. Telling someone you aren't going to argue with a woman, even if he means it literally, that he doesn't argue with women, still gives off bad pub.

I'm in the probably category. It's different when you deal with the public, and the public is most certainly the paper's customer.

It's not all that different from a retail guy creeping on some chick wearing his uniform standing outside the store. He creeps on too many customers, it's time for him to go.

Or think about it this way, if after you hand a client their report, you catch them after work and say, "tits or GTFO," Rain Man is probably going to be upset.

Yes, there is something VERY wrong with saying that, as a columnist, representing a newspaper. You are basically saying that females are an inferior type of human or sub-human who can't be reasoned with, that they are unworthy of you debating an issue with them.

He didn't say "I'm not going to argue with you because you're a woman and you don't know shit". He simply said....I'm not going to argue with a woman.
