How is that related to her lawsuit? It seems completely unrelated to me.
In any case, 10k "people" (it's easy to game these things) is just a drop in the bucket of reddit's userbase.

So this whole Ellen Pao thing is just a bunch of nerds eating popcorn. It's our version of a celebrity magazine.
So in that sense, more gossip about Ellen Pao's personal life/actions at reddit (which she is ruining) are completely par for the course.
It does not add value to me to have subreddits Ellen Pao personally disagrees with be banned. Rather, it takes away value.
And now that the precedent has been set, the same will be the case with future reddit leadership.
> What planet are you from that you think a company is run that way?
Well, not a planet where I try to persuade people of my views by sarcastically asking what planet they're from. That is not an argument and it's devoid of intellectual content.

So you are on a first-name basis with her? Maybe you can tell us the inside story. Otherwise, calling someone by a first name alone is vulgar.
Given that those comments don't actually violate any of Reddit's stated rules, there aren't many other reasonable explanations.
Then again, I called every single one of them liars, publicly, by name, after the recent subreddit closing drama, and I'm not shadowbanned so, who knows.
To put it as charitably as possible, the facts that came out during the failed lawsuit (and later attempt to get 2.7M out of the company to get her to go away) do not paint Pao in a good light.
Calling her a scam artist is putting it mildly, IMO. Real gender discrimination cases are tainted by this kind of BS.
