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.

Sure it is. You are representing your employer in public, so whatever you do that might embarrass them in public could be grounds. I am sure he has such a clause in his employment agreement.

I think her exposing his DMs is a bit iffy. The last one wasn't that bad. Dudes a human, if he was doing it with all sorts of women or harassing her constantly.. that's one thing but it never hurts to take a shot
The middle DM is the one that's rough

When he says he's not going to argue with a woman, it sounds like he might be trying to be polite. It's not like he says he's not going to argue with an empty headed puck bunny.

He probably shouldn't have pulled the show-us-your-tatas move, however.

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.

I think what it comes down to is that he obviously had issues and probably crossed the line but this woman took it as an opportunity to blow it out of proportion and get a guy fired.

On the one hand, it's ridiculous that someone got fired over this. On the other hand, twitter is stupid.
