> When the whole episode finally became a giant media controversy

This is a bit self referential.

But seriously who cares. People get fired daily, many of them get fired unjustly... and you know what we don't write tons and tons of articles about them.

At first I felt a bit bad for the guy... socially awkward guy who jumps to some misguided conclusions based on quoted research. Ideally, he would get some kind of training maybe an explanation from a sociology researcher how he incorrectly jumped to conclusions.

But this woe is me shtick, reaching out to the alt-right publications, then continuing on to do an op-ed on the WSJ. I no longer feel bad for him; he got what he deserved.
