This isn't hard. 1. Don't lash out. 2. If you do, apologize. 3. Stop egging people on to be abusive. 4. Don't fire people for tweeting.

** If someone has a *pattern* of abusive tweeting behavior, #4 doesn't apply. A mistake and a pattern are different things.

A. I suspect Bruenig's tweets to Walsh & Tanden were the precipitant not the CAUSE of his firing. B. There's a difference. Act vs pattern.

Are you advocating firing for "I suspect" evidence? & if the same were used against those he insulted?

I'm not advocating firing or not firing. Scroll up. I'm saying there's a difference between proximal and ultimate causation.

In that specific tweet, I'm using "precipitating event" to refer to proximal cause.

When I work as a therapist, I need to know the why-now that brought a person in, but it's never the reason they're really there.
