Somehow, I don't think she's doing what is in her best interest right now. The guy has resigned and the tech media is totally on this story right now. Any small _preceived_ misstep and she could end up being labeled another "Adria Richards". Also, the question[1] in her current github background appears to represent a suggestive joke that I would have never guessed she'd be comfortable with. Not saying this is any kind of evidence of anything; just interesting that apparently there is a side to her that finds jokes like that funny. http://i.imgur.com/X8Wdgg0.png http://i.imgur.com/X8Wdgg0.png

  Why, because she's supposed to be sexless before she can be credible in a claim of sexual harassment?

    I wouldn't have a joke like that on any of my social profiles. If anything, this is in her defense since it's one data-point indicating she's not a stereotypical hyper-feminist-drama-queen(do these even exist?) looking to be offended by the slightest incident. She's easy-going enough to have something like that on her public profile and she _knows_ what people will think of first when they read that.

  All of these tweets I see from her account from the last ~45 minutes or so don't help her case at all. Taking these types of things public especially before any formal investigation occurs (which kicked off this whole scenario) usually does more harm than good.

    Did you not read the article? They claim to have finished a formal, third party lead, investigation.

      I did and understand everything that is going on, but reading her Twitter feed the last hour shitting on everyone and everything at Github (since they didn't find any criminal wrongdoing) doesn't make you look good or more believable, it actually does the opposite.

        Yep, we should all just shut the fuck up if we feel we're wronged.
        chippy 12y ago
        Yes. A lawyer would advise that yes, please do not say anything until we get to court.
        res0nat0r 12y ago
        100% correct. If you are serious, you don't use Twitter or social media to advocate your case.

        There are good and bad ways to respond to the results of an investigation. I would argue that her response falls under the latter. She's doing herself a disservice by posting stuff like this.

  The background is from the following scenario: DJ asks girl being interviewed what favourite position is, she responds 'CEO'. IIRC it was 'sway in the morning'.
  - msie 12y ago
    Hmmm, I thought it was a caller that asked that question, not the DJ.
    - nailer 12y ago
      Both correct: DJ speaks on behalf of caller who suggested it.

  For what it's worth, I want to point out that many of us don't even think Adria Richards is an "Adria Richards".
