Definitely. That kind of behavior shouldn't be tolerated. |

Eh, probably. You can't do that kind of thing as a semi-public figure. |

Na, probably not. It was uncalled for, but hardly worth firing someone over. |

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. ![]() Last edited by DaFace; 12-03-2014 at 08:07 PM.. |

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

That's not worth being fired for.

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.

What was the "suggestive" picture he wanted?

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.

In the workplace, or when representing my employer, I find it best to pretend that all humans are asexual beings. Also, the worth of someone's opinion should not depend on their membership in one social group or another.

Ah, I didn't see the photo. That is until now.
Now, I think he should have been warned or disciplined—not sure about firing him.
