frankblizzardon Sl: a steam locomotive in your terminal

frankblizzardon PyCon Code of Conduct changed to avoid public shaming

Most of the people offended / affected by that are angry because the poor guy got fired over this. I think it was wrong to do this tweet, but she wasn't the one to get him fired. The employer should have the courage and stand behind his employees instead of firing him over appearantly nothing.
