> File the lawsuit

That's not how it works, at least not in California. That is if you use the equal employment opportunity system. You go through arbitration first. The two sides have to meet and negotiate an outcome, someone is there to help the process. Likely it will be settled there with money exchanged unless there was never any enough evidence for it to go to arbitration. Once there is arbitration, both sides have to compromise. If this fails, then you can file a law suit. The arbitration will be part of that I imagine, but I've never seen how the process works after arbitration. I think usually fixing it in arbitration is the norm.

You don't still have to work at that place to file the grievance. So this individual can still do that. I think if you've gone public with your accusation you are less likely to have success at arbitration because I would think at least.

The amount of money I've seen exchanged is usually a few months salary. You have to come in with a big number though, because you will be pressured to bring it down.

Eh, publicly shaming doesn't work without considerable and undeniable proof. It will just backfire into internet rage and dossing ala dongle gate. If there is real harassment best just make it hurt through state harassment arbitration. When they get tired of paying through the nose for all the stupid insensitive things naive and oblivious coworkers are bandying about, maybe they'll get serious.

Start writing things down and then contact a local equal opportunity office and start the process. It will not be cheap for them. If people keep doing this they'll change their ways.

Going public on Twitter or Hacker News though hasn't done much other than bring out nasty and unproductive fights between Social Justice Warriors and Men's Rights fanatics. They make everyone look bad and we all walk away feeling like maybe we've lost faith in humanity when in reality a serious problem just stems from mostly unintentional, but hurtful ignorance.

So a full name isn't required anymore? Being able to see content doesn't require a login? You can delete your question ala carte?

Eh, if someone is being a problem and is creating negativity, as manager you should be able to pick up on it. It shouldn't be that hard, that's most of your job as a manager is to be able to read the people that work for you and evaluate them. You don't need proof of passive aggressive behavior to fire anyone. Just fire them and wish them the best on their next venture.

Buy a huge percentage of existing bitcoins and then sell each bitcoin for cheaper than you bought it for and cheaper than your previous sale. Given the entire currency is worth in the billions, nobody would do this, and there's nothing to gain from doing it.

The dialogs definitely look nicer than your standard Gnome dialogs.

At no point did I ever make any kind of argument about ignorance of the law. Do you see that in my post? Perhaps point it out, because you're reading something that isn't there.

Thank you, but just FYI, Quora sucks and you should find a new place to work.

It's a shitty crowd sourced product that gives nothing back to the crowd. The deletion policy sucks. The inability to delete your own content (without deleting your account) sucks. The way Quora forces people to login to see content sucks. Forcing people to use real names sucks. The user interface, which at this point looks pretty dated, sucks. The product sucks. You can't get answers to questions which sucks. People with lots of followers get all the upvotes, which sucks. Emphasising the social login buttons at every turn and hiding the email login sucks. The community (never as impressive as people made it out to be because one time many years ago the former CEO of AOL answered something) sucks. The admonishment to be ready to dedicate your life (haha!) to Quora on the jobs page sucks big fucking time. By the way how's that working out for you? Worth it? Probably not. Getting a ton of VC money because Quora's founder had some friends at Facebook and then building a piece of shit? Also pretty sucky.

Can you tell I don't like Quora? My only interaction with Quora has been through its product. I haven't had a Quora account in over a year and I still foam at the mouth at the thought of this site. There's a reason I wanted to delete my account. It's a sinister and manipulative product that connives value (user contributions) out of people and returns walls for the favor. I had quite a bit of content on Quora. I think I got overcharged like $40 by some scammy website in the last year and I am already over that, but I never got scammed for money from Quora but I still cringe at the site in a way that's entirely unique and singular. Quora sucks.

Deleting an account from Quora, including deleting all your contributions, is not easy. It requires sending an email and waiting for them to run some script which can take a long time. So unless Quora changed this, which I doubt, that page needs to be updated.

It's not good enough because taking an oath and breaking it does not automatically equate to the horrors of imprisoning people for long, live changing lengths which is a pretty fucking horrible thing to do to individuals and their families. Especially not if they had good intentions. And not only that I don't agree with the first claim regarding "rules of law" and "civilization". It sounds like some historian's quote from the 19th century completely unaware of a century's worth work in the social sciences.

There's a lot of personal anecdote in your reply but little justification for why decades of jail are appropriate responses. It just seems like you think if you feel it intuitively that everyone else should just accept it. Sorry, I don't agree, and you're not very convincing.

...more to my social environment than rational thought? Not sure what your point is or if you're just trying to blow up and discredit a view point with some pop-psychology/anthropology 101 that could apply to everything equally and thus be a completely meaningless statement.

Decades in jail? For what? I do not like the NSA's overcollection, but decades in jail ought to be reserved for violent types and people who you can easily demonstrate have ruined people's lives (through ponzi schemes and fraud).

It's weird how the URL for this link keeps changing.

Well it's not really about party identification, at least for me. I think poverty and health services are basic rights a rich country can afford. It has nothing to do with who is for it or against it. It's the principle of it, and Freedom works and tea party types are very much on the complete opposite of it. The disagreement on these points are considerable. I am not likely to be convinced that not helping others out is not a matter of social justice and a requirement for participating in our society. Those on the other side seem about as likely to change as I am. I happen to agree with Freedomworks and the Tea party on NSA/and other social-liberty stuff like the war on drugs and not fighting in foreign countries, but that's pretty much the end of it.
