The internet can be relied upon for two things:
- Pictures of cats
- Firestorms
Over the last couple days there's been a huge firestorm over Adria Richard's blog post about being offended by sexual jokes at tech conferences. The gist of the post is that Adria was offended by two guys making sexual jokes and she reported them to the staff as well as posted the whole story to her blog.
The resulting firestorm consumed not only one of the two guys' job but Adria's job as well.
