If there was something specific and genuine that happened, and the person in question wished to do something about it other than attract a lot of attention, I imagine they'd post a lot more detail other than "I was harassed, HR made up a story, GitHub has a sexist culture".

GitHub, like any company, wouldn't say anything about an individual HR case.

We should be reserving our judgement of what happened - personally, I'll wait a month or two and ask GitHubbers what they actually think when I see them - but this isn't a professional way to handle something.

The person is obviously angry, so:

- get off Twitter

- chill out for a week

- think about getting a lawyer

if you believe you were harassed.

He didn't judge her or Github with respect to the "incidents" in question because we have no facts on those incidents. What we do have facts on is how such the here-say is being publicized by one individual. In that respect, it's fair to judge those specific actions while reserving judgement of the actions involving the actual incident being discussed until a later date when more facts have been made public.

I can criticize the way she's handling this without having to believe she's guilty.
