> This article reads as "Don't take his advice. I don't like him therefore his advice is bad."

It also misrepresents his actual advice, which was not "fire the guy immediately", but "consult with an attorney (and, parenthetically, my guess is that the attorney will say to fire the guy.)"

The difference is important, because Patio11's actual advice leaves open the possibility that the attorney might recommend something else, including, presumably, not firing the guy and instead using internal counseling managed by HR to try to resolve the situation and ensure it isn't repeated. Patio11 isn't pretending to be an authority here, he's recommending consulting with someone who actually is an authority on the issue.
