because he ~~owns~~ as a director, represents the interests of the owners of the site

how do you know what Victoria did to deserve/not deserve being fired? She could have simply been resisting his direction, saying "No, I will not implement that! I don't like it. You will need to fire me first to get me out of your way"

edit: clarified his role as a director

I've always found Alexis to be really smug and full of himself. "Self proclaimed Mayor of the Internet" and all that bullshit. Fuck him.
