Well comparing her to a lot of Redditors is a low standard. But you're not wrong.

While that's true, it still seems commendable that she stepped down of her own accord and specifically mentioned a reminder of the people that were decent through the whole process. This situation could have been much worse.

Yeah, it's not exactly a comparison that has much merit. Ellen Pao is a person with a face and a public image whom people know and recognize. Redditors, on the other hand, are anonymous with no public face and can say whatever shit they want without any repercussions. Of course Pao is gonna "take the high road" here. She'd have to have no conscience of public face to take a low road.

This is a psychological phenomena. For some reason human beings have this inkling that they are in a minority of good people. You're not special for being a decent human being, sorry.

We'd really appreciate it if you wouldn't compare her to us.
