If you were wrong, never changed, and just trying to get away with it: suck it up.

I honestly wonder 1. why someone hated you for years, 2. the hell are you doing online that you gave that person enough bullets to get you fired, 3. don't you also have good relationship in your workplace that you weren't able to convince them not to fire you?

Get legal involved on this, you guys are nuts.

Awful response. Perhaps OP did something bad, but you have to remember supporting Trump or taking a strong dislike to BLM is enough to get you in trouble in some places. Perhaps 5 years ago it would have been acceptable to assume the person did something wrong, but these days I would guess it's just as likely to be a socially awkward James Damore type.

Also people change. I've been on Twitter since I was 17. My Twitter feed for the last 13 years has been full of autistic ramblings. I'm sure if someone really wanted to get me fired they could, and I suspect many others here are in a similar boat.
