I would like to add that I think u/spez should lead a public apology to Ellen Pao, which all redditors that insulted Pao should participate. I say this not simply because she deserves it, but because the horrific ignorance and bigotry of the reddit lynch mob has to be highlighted and shamed.
So many people attacked a person based on incomplete knowledge of events, dangerously wrong assumptions, and worst of all on irrelevant information from her personal life. Reddit literally became the lynch mob it so often passes judgement on. All the redditors that said all those racist and sexist comments need to know that they were blatantly wrong.
I know this is not the most popular opinion, but reddit showed how horrible it can be over the last couple of weeks.

What about those of us that refrained from alleged racist sexist comments and simply were displeased with the choice of a criminally vindictive CEO out of touch with the product as leader? Or are you entirely unable to divorce your UHPRESHUN narrative from actual complaints about Ms. Pao?
