I feel like there's an American Spring going on. Before 2012, people have been very reluctant to blow whistles on unethical activities in their own companies, for fear of losing their jobs (likely) and damaging their career in the long term (unlikely, but much scarier). That seems to be changing, with the NYT Goldman Sachs article and various revelations coming out in Silicon Valley. People are finally speaking out about ethical violations (such as the gross violation of policy inherent in a Facebook walk-through in a job interview process) that, a few years ago, people would have been terrified to disclose.

People keep silent about all kinds of scummy things that are happening because of fear, but it's the silence that allows bad actors to have as much success as they do.

In light of this, I think a lot of people, who have nothing to do with raganwald and don't know who he is, wanted the resignation letter to be real, not fictional.
