you're an idiot then because there is no verification that the twitter user is actually a github employee. zed should be the one apologizing here for just making bullshit up. at no point did anyone at github say anything bad about him.
I have reason to believe, aside from Zed's post, that at least one GitHub employee was involved in the harassment. I could be wrong, but my beliefs aren't based on nothing. The startup world is very small.
Thank you for the reminder that HN is now reddit.
P.S. Nobody's mind was ever changed by a sentence that begins 'you're an idiot'.
