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.

I don't think anyone disagrees that they have the legal right to do it. The question is just whether that's a good enough reason that a reasonable person would think firing is necessary.

the interaction seemed much more like friends to me than scribe/reader. Not that creeping your friends is right, but a different dynamic for sure.

i suspect they were aware of his other issues and this was a way of getting rid of him.
Direct messages that she posted publicly on her Twitter account.

Reasonable person is a very fluid standard today, which is a big problem. No reasonable person would look at anything his said as being worth of getting fired. But reasonable people aren't working HR and PR for big companies.

He was suspended earlier this season as well and he had this coming. If you follow the NHL closely you would know he's an arrogant prick and always has been, not too mention he's god awful at his job, i'm shocked he kept it this long tbh.

Here's why he was suspended earlier this season:

Those DM's to that chick wouldn't be all that bad if he wasn't MARRIED ffs.

I work in HR for Wal Mart, thankfully not PR. From an HR perspective it's a good term.

Nothing is 100%, and I'm certainly not singling you out, but HR is home to some of the most insufferable SJWs on the planet.

Those tweets display poor judgment, and poor judgment in social media gets plenty of people fired these days. Not surprised that this reflected deeper issues going on.
