> What evidence do you have that it's absurd?

None, which is exactly the level of evidence put forward in the blogpost that it even happened. Susan Fowler's account is a plausible account of a toxic environment; I default to believing her for various reasons. Claims of open/unguarded homophobia racism, sexism, fireable remarks, coworker-sexual-fanfiction are pretty severe as the consequences are steep and financial for the accused -- if this blogpost isn't hyperbole, I hope the author is reading this comment as she should be talking with a lawyer.

Disproving absolutes is a fool's errand and I'm sure you know the way this is phrased, I can't argue against it.
