I have not followed this case. However, this just rolled across my FB feed :

http://www.businessinsider.com/julie-ann-horvath-github-hara...

Maybe I'm being uncharitable, but based on her [JAH] public statements I have a hard time taking her version of events 100% at face value. The drama to fact ratio feels high.

> "Company perks : witch hunts, snow cones and silencing"

> "I am not a victim. I'm someone that a company's negligence pushed too far, for too long. I am living, breathing consequence"

> "Leaving GitHub was the best decision of my life"

> "Hmm still no mention of the man who bullied me out of our code base because I _wouldn't_ fuck him. Too popular to be accountable, I guess"

Is Github that awful? I'm not seeing it.



There's a strong current of spitefulness in those Twitter posts. While I understand that Horvath is clearly livid, and obviously not without some reason, that kind of public vitriol would make me question anyone's rationality.
