Pax Dickinson fired over 'homophobic/sexist' tweets
New York Magazine reported Tuesday morning that Business Insider Chief Technology Officer Pax Dickinson has been forced to resign after his history of sexist and homophobic tweets drew industry-wide criticism on Monday. Henry Blodget, Business Insider’s CEO, confirmed Dickinson’s departure Tuesday afternoon, stating his tweets “do not reflect our values and have no place at our company.”
The controversy appears to have started after this year’s TechCrunch was roundly criticized for sexist and misogynist presentations. Tech Crunch apologized, but Dickinson mocked both the criticism and the apology on Twitter: Of course someone decided to dig up some of his older tweets, and wow, lol, this guy really let it all hang out : Lots more detail at site, but I have to say I admire his attitude in the face of his being let go: http://www.mediaite.com/online/how-b...ers-cto-fired/
