        today's complaint *undermines* Damore's claim that liberals weren't reprimanded. The plaintiff, Tim Chevalier, shows up all over Damore's lawsuit. Remember the example that "punching Nazis" was google condoning political violence? That was Chevalierpic.twitter.com/9h2HP5ggFR

        bonus trivia: Breitbart also devoted an entire post to Chevalier as an example of Google condoning violence (see again: Nazis, punching of) but the examples were on his personal accounts

        I’m sorry this has little to do with your very good piece but the first time I loaded it some ad network JavaScript hijacked my chrome iOS browser and sent me to a scammy “sweepstakes” page. Perhaps you could let the right people at @wired know?

        Am I crazy for thinking Google shouldn't have fired Damore and shouldn't have fired Chevalier? Though I'll concede Chevalier sounds...difficult.

        Can they not make up their minds? Or maybe the message is be a good little wage slave and leave your opinions out of the workplace.
