What does this say about the power Richards has? This whole situation sees one person over-react after another. It's quite bizarre, really.



If she was really in a position of power, she wouldn't be fired. Let me be clear: the power to hire & fire is a serious one. The power to call people bad things on the Internet is not, unless people with the first power choose to say "oh, people said bad things about you on the Internet, we have to fire you now regardless of the merits." My argument is that we shouldn't accept that from employers.
