Life 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.
