What we have is a situation where both parties behaved imperfectly. Since it was the outside guy who made the whiny woe-is-me-I'm-a-victim blog post about it, it's everybody's instinct to point out what he did to deserve it.

And this is okay?? This is acceptable? This is not a community that I want to be a part of.

It's normal. I'm not sure why you're getting so worked up about it.

Dare I suggest you might be upset at an analogous situation in your own life?

You're welcome to suggest it, but it's really not the case. If someone did that to me I would be upset. I'm sorry that I have the common decency not to lie to people's faces, deceive them, string them on and then expect them to take it with a smile on their face. I'm working for the man now anyway. Not much to be upset about really.
