Jessica Price:
> The kindest thing I can say is "I'm glad [TotalBiscuit]'s no longer around to keep doing harm."
> Routinely insult & dismiss fans
> Be routinely rude on Twitter
> Publicly shame, and sick your followers onto an innocent guy
"She didn't deserve to get fired!" 🙄

Peter Fries:
> Misguidedly stood up for a colleague, rather rudely at times
Yeah, he didn't deserve to get fired. But... I can see why ArenaNet did what they did. Price dug her own grave, and the backlash would have been enormous if they only disciplined Fries.

The idiot on Reddit:
> "We can get ArenaNet to do what we want!"
Before this clown deleted his post, Reddit had already downvoted him into oblivion. The extremely vast majority of people understands that this guy is a fruitcake. The people supporting her firing aren't him...

Social Justice Advocates:
> "This is another marginalized individual getting shafted, and an attack on Developers."
No. Jessica Price got herself fired for very good reasons. When you attack people, you can expect people to push back. Some took it too far, yes. But 95% didn't.

(As an aside: Stop defending people like Jessica Price, or Brianna Wu. And start actively promoting people who deserve the spotlight, like Jade Raymond, Amy Hennig, and Corrinne Yu.)
People commenting on the controversy:
> "But it was their personal Twitter!"
They promoted themselves as employees of their company in their Twitter Bio. They, themselves, linked their accounts to their employee... making them representatives of said company. Downtime or not.

And that's the last thing I have to say about this entire controversy. Though, I would like to ask News Outlets like Kotaku to please do better. Just present us the actual, full facts of the situation. And don't twist them to what you want the story to be...
