I think he's a bit of a d too, but I never heard about the AA story and just looked it up[1]. I assumed someone got fired because he was whining, but it seems AA fired someone for breaking their NDA to talk about why the website was so crappy. So, to me the story is more AA being the asshole in that story.

When classifying assholes, there's no rule that states only one party can come out the asshole. Nobody won in that situation.

I'm not sure how anything Dustin did there would classify him as an asshole. Maybe I'm missing something.

He blogged about not liking the aesthetics of a website, sparked a discussion with on of the designers of that site and then AA fired the guy and Dustin said that he was "horrified" that it happened.

What's missing?
