Is this an appropriate reaction to his remarks?

What were his remarks?
Quote"This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you'll be bombed."

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

Anyone who says something people don't like needs to lose his job.

QuoteNobel Prize winner Tim Hunt was roundly criticised when he detailed his thoughts about the "trouble with girls" at a conference of science journalists. "Three things happen when they are in the lab," he said, "you fall in love with them, they fall in love with you, and when you criticise them they cry."

Apparently he was pressured to resign, not fired per se, but still. I am fine with the twitter campaign making fun of him for saying something stupid, but this is a bit too much.

Yeah he should have been made fun of for that, that is hilariously stupid, but fire him? So much for wanting gender to be a conversation. If you say something wrong in the conversation you will have your life ruined.

His employer seems a bit retarded.

He is right about the crying part though. Never seen a guy burst into tears in a professional setting. Seen it done by women at least a dozen of times.

I didn't cry when that metal shelving busted my leg up. I was so manly in the emergency room asking for morphine repeatedly.
